I love Mexico City! With over 20 million people, it is considered one of the largest cities in the world, and is home to 20% of Mexico’s entire population. It is vibrant, engaging, and sometimes chaotic, all at the same time.
I visited before with our oldest daughter, and this time I took my son. Princeton actually hiked to the top of this pyramid, Teotihuacan, one of the world’s largest.
He was so eager to get to the top, I found myself chasing him all the way up.
When we finally made it to the top, we were rewarded by this view, just outside Mexico City.
Besides indulging in the delicious cuisine, I always try to get a cut from the artisan barbers. This time it was Princeton’s turn.
You can see Princeton chasing pigeons in his Superman cape in the lower right. This is the Zócalo, (The Plaza of the Constitution) and has been the central gathering space of Mexico City since Aztec times.
Speaking of Aztecs, some still hang out here!
Mommy didn’t make this trip, but she had me put a leash on Princeton to keep him near. He didn’t get lost – but somehow the leash did…
In addition to epic sightseeing, we spent quality time in some of the city’s parks. It was in this park Princeton learned how to pump himself on a swing.
Not only did I bring Princeton, but I persuaded my parents to accompany us on this trip. Here they stand outside the Monument of the Revolution. Pancho Villa, and other Mexican historical greats, are entombed inside.
The view from atop the monument is a sight to behold, and caps off another memorable stay in the DF.
