Cathedral and around

In Mexican cities the main square called 'Zocalo'. Usually it is a nice park. Not in Mexico City. There it is a paved square with no else decoration than a huge Mexican flag in the middle. No plants, no shadow.

On the Zocalo we can find the lavishly decorated Cathedral and the 'Placio Nacional'. In the second one there are murals (huge paintings) on the wall depicting the life in Mexico before the Spanish and them influence in a stunning way.

Also visited the square around the Santo Domingo church and ate 'quesadilla' there.

Mexico city, the final destination

Arrived to Mexico City successfully. The hostel resembles a good old and moderately clean student hostel but as a result of some issue around my reservation I got a private room so I am ok with it.:)

After a bit of thinking, asking and examining the map it was easy to find a metro to the hostel.
