My adventure in Mexico City















I had a great adventure in Mexico city alone.


I left Puebla very early in the morning. It took me two hours to get to Mexico City by bus. I had a nice trip, chatting with a local retired gentleman on the way. Arriving in this big city, I used subway and I got direction from the local policeman. I did not bring a single map or tour guide book, and I knew nothing about this city. Basically I just wandered alone on the street, took whatever God sent me on my way.



Of course I visited Zocalo again. Then I walked along the big streets, towards the Latin America Tower. I found the National Gallery, and Museo de Diego River. They, I had lunch at an small restaurant. I asked the owner how to go to the "Piramide del Sol".








The whole afternoon, I was at Teotihuacan. I met a university boy who volunteered to be my tour guide. He told me he wanted to see Beijing Olympics. His family had a local store in the town, and he was taking care of the business. He gave me his name card and asked me to email him. He wanted to learn English too.

I took a 6:00pm bus back to Puebla. But the traffic was amazing! Our bus could barely move. We stayed inside the huge city for almost 3 hours!




When I finally got back to Puebla, it was already 11:00pm. I took a taxi back to Norma's house. They came to hug me and kiss me and they told me how much they worried about me! They thought I must got lost or kidnapped because I was totally a stranger in the biggest city of the world!!!
