MEXICO CITY
Here are pics from various parts of Mexico City (not including the botanical gardens/Chapultepec). For the botanical gardens and Chapultepec, go here.

Zócalo, the famous plaza in the city center...



Catedral Metropolitana, at Zócalo...



Countdowns to the 2010 Centennial and Bicentennial of 2 Important Mexican Events (and, yes, those are Siberian elms planted along the street, definitely not Mexico City's best choice of tree!)...



Templo Mayor, Aztec ruins in the middle of Mexico City which were only excavated in recent years (and building previously above them demolished)...









A street performer...





Typical "downtown" street...



Jacarandas just beginning to flower (at the beginning of March) in Zona Rosa...



A business park (viewed from the autopista) in a neighborhood on the western outskirts called Santa Fe...



A freeway closer into the city (near Chapultepec)...



All of the above pictures on this page were taken in March 2009 by Brandt Maxwell.
