It's been a long time... pre-pandemic... since Alejandro have been to a movie theater. On Sunday we decided to head over to the multiplex at the World Trade Center to see if there was anything good playing. When we got there we discovered that the "Cinemex" had closed. Apparently it had not survived the pandemic.
We decided to walk to "Metrópoli Patriotismo", a shopping mall about eleven minutes away. We went up to the "Cinemex" on the third floor of the mall, but we didn't see any movies that interested us. We did see, however, a poster advertising the premier of the new "Downton Abbey" movie, so I guess we will return here next Sunday to see that.
We ended up walking around the mall.
We stopped and had something to drink at "Cassava Roots", a chain that sells a variety of flavored teas.
On our previous visits to this mall, we had never gone up to the roof of the mall. We discovered that there were a driving range, a miniature golf course, and a climbing wall up there.
From the top of the mall we had a view of the World Trade Center. Unless you are looking at it from the side at a distance, you never realize how narrow it is in relation to its width. The circular restaurant almost looks as if it might fall off.
Far to the south, you can see the Torre Mitikah. Sixty eight stories high, it is now the tallest building in Mexico City.
