Mexico City

We arrived in Mexico City yesterday afternoon. It is sunny and mild. Such a nice change from all the winter! We went straight to the Anthropology Museum - all the museums are closed today, our only day here! They had some beautiful things from all the ancient cultures wiped out by the Spanish.




Some of the exhibits were displayed outside. It was beautiful.



The museum is in the middle of a park and is free to all Mexicans on Sundays. It was nice to see so many families there.



This piece is made from so many tiny feathers. So beautiful. I can't imagine how much time it took (or how many tiny, little birds).



I couldn't resist taking a picture of this guy. I think the nicest thing to say is that it looks like he is wearing a sombrero on his lap (that was not my first thought, though).
