**** i hope you enjoyed the sites around centro -- more to come on part two ****

 

Centro is one of the best in North America.

There's a lot more historic architecture than I realized Mexico City possessed.

Love Distrito Federal Mexico!

Thanks for posting!

Thanks! So fascinated by Mexico City! A lot of those plane shots make it look like a hyper dense LA...
