Mexico City Winter Fun

We walked through the Mariachi Square last night. These dudes set up full bars with just crates and barrels.

This morning I walked to the Zocolo where a winter festival was in full swing. Historic buildings surround the square.

Children were making snowmen using compacted fake snow in molds.

First snowmobiling rink I've seen.

Not your average sledding backdrop.

Pyramids of Teotihuacán

I took a day tour to a couple different places, including the Pyramids of Teotihuacán.

Our first stop was at the Tenochtitlán ruins within the city.

We went inside that cathedral in the photo above, which is where I found this dude taking a snooze.

Some candles

I can't figure out if this Pope is wearing the Virgin Mary as a dress or simply invading her personal space from behind.

Obligatory stop at a tequila making place where they fill you with shots in hopes you'll get drunk enough to buy their overpriced bottles.

I tried this unknown fruit. It wasn't very good.

I asked what kind of dog this was. The answer: Mexican Dog.

Pyramids of Teotihuacán

Fresh from snowy Utah, my milky white skin got a little color today.

Mexican archeologists?

Mid way up. Pyramid of the Moon in the distance.

It's a steep climb.

Remember Datsons?

Mexico City Day 1

I'm south of the border until Jan 4th, starting in Mexico City. Nothing says Bien Viendo like a pounding altitude headache and a suicide cab ride through gridlocked traffic. Snapped a few photos this afternoon.

Mexican Ear Drums

Mexican Dentist

Mexican Santa

Mexican Tacos
(Adding slivers of pineapple is pure genius)

Mexican Condiments
(lime wedges, roasted onions, cucumbers, and guacamole. In sum, they kick ass over our condiments)

Sorry about the poor quality of the food photos. People were staring. I'll do better.
