Saturday, before taking the night bus to Villahermosa, we spent the whole day at the Museo Nacional de Antropología; an impressive museum in a pretty neat building. We only made it through the lower floor.
The Museo in located in the Bosque de Chapultepec, the largest city park in the Western Hemisphere and which features the Art Deco Los Niños Héroes Monument at its entrance.
The impressive fountain in the Museo courtyard.
And from the opposite end of the courtyard.
Ballcourt apartatus.
Wolfman.
Bird.
Mother of the Universe.
Mayan Exhibition Hall.
Olmec head.
Mask - a Sun-Ling favorite.
Carved shell - very cool.
Near the Museo, one can borrow a bike for free.
And in our last hour in DF, we finally got a peak into La Enseñanza but only from the street. The church doors were open, but the gate was locked. Next time.
Sun-Ling and John have been traveling the earth since 2008 while blogging, eating vegetarian and vegan, and riding public transportation. We love uphill day hikes, 20th-century architecture, Roman ruins, all bodies of water, local markets, shopping for groceries, aqueducts, miradors, trip planning, blablacar, and more.

Splendid tour! Having followed you vicariously, sad it's coming to an end with what must be so much more to see. What will I do with myself each morning during "travel" time until you take off once again? Travel safely as you return. Think Costco!
