Day 2

My heart,


Actually, today was my real first day in Mexico. Much less stress, I've stopped looking at everyone as if they were all are going to mug me. Constant sollicitations though by girls, boys, old ladies... I don't really understand what they want, I just understand that I clearly look as a tourist! Well, this being said, I don't know how many times I was asked for directions today. As if I sometimes looked local! Or maybe it is just another way to eventually ask me for whatever...

the majestic entrance to the park, with just a bit of the castle behind

Today I've seen more of the city. There is a very beautiful park with a castle on top, many museums are there, vendors by the ton, promoting their products! Not a peaceful park I must say. I visited two museums for contemporary art. I think the museum Tomayo is such a beautiful building that anything they show will always look fantastic.

After, I walked on the the largest avenue here, Paseo de la Reforma. Very impressive, beautiful buildings and a police at every 50 feet, on both side of the street. Actually there is so much police here, it's a bit weird. This city looks very rich when you are on this majestic street. 

But this morning I went to the rooftop patio of my hotel. Two different points of view...

Dinner was on a patio on the street, in a Cervaceria (brewery), I tasted my first michelada (a mix of beer, lime juice and ice). I mostly got to see how agitated is this town. Not a minute without ambulance, police cars, people everywhere going through this in a sort of lazy walk, smiling and being careful to the person(s) they are with. I need to know more about them. I need to understand how this city works. I will experiment the Saturday Night Life (not live!). Should be interesting. Tell you more soon. This letter is gettin long, and I don't want to bother you to much. As you know.

I think of you, and try to make you travel a bit. Meanwhile, be happy.
