I would offer a visit there as an option, depending on their interest and whether or not they had overdosed on religious architecture.<br /><br />Yes, every time I visit Mexico City I find more museums and art exhibits to see. Although I am not always into contemporary art, I would have to rank Mexico City as one of the "art capitals" of the world. <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed your visit to Mexico City, and thanks for your comment.Retired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697897155105288077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005183909843018870.post-1946646575685947802017-02-25T12:22:59.948-05:002017-02-25T12:22:59.948-05:00Good thoughts.

I've spent some time traveling around by car this time (a friend drove, not me), and what I noticed is that the traffic is even worse than I remember it to be. Osh!<br /><br />But the weather has been fantastic, and as always, the number of museums and exhibitions continues to increase. <br /><br />I visited the Museo de la Mujer this time, in Lagunilla, and walked from there past Plaza Santo Domingo. On the callejon behind Santo Domingo Church, there was a small building housing a temporary exhibition of art, including some small lithographs by Rivera that I had never seen before. I couldn't tell you the name of the place, as it was basically unmarked.<br /><br />Also, what about the Basilica de Guadalupe? I suppose that a lot of non-Catholic travelers might not sound too enthused by a description of the place, but for me it's an essential stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005183909843018870.post-82915571592247645552017-02-20T09:07:33.726-05:002017-02-20T09:07:33.726-05:00Very true.

Still, if anyone comes to visit me in Mexico City, I cannot imagine skipping "must-see" sights like the Anthro Museum or the Pyramids.<br />Saludos,<br />BillRetired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697897155105288077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005183909843018870.post-47225745797377705602017-02-19T22:12:25.713-05:002017-02-19T22:12:25.713-05:00I have a zillion, off the beaten track,places that...I have a zillion, off the beaten track,places that I like to take people. Most have never been written about by travel writers. So going to the usual places it is always more fun to go to the off the beaten track places. Those are the ones the people I have taken to CDMX have liked the most!<br />Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.com
