Mexico City - Museums and FOOOOOOOD

Guys spinning from a pole - the spinning dance.

This is a maize tortilla, with frijoles (refried beans), cacuts, corriander, cheese and bloody hot chilli sauce. Sounds tasty, and is for the first few bites, then after that ... tastes like crap.

Whilst in Mexico City, we thought it would be rude not to go and see one or two of the many awesome world class museums that exist around the central park. The two museums that we are showing a few works from are firstly, the modern art museum. This featured the works of famous Mexican artists, of which we knew of one - the famous monobrowed Frida.

The other museum we visited was the Anthropological museum, which is hands down the best museum we have ever been to. WE were warned about it´s enormous size, but had no idea that it would take us 3 hours to view a quater of the rooms. It covered pretty much the world from day dot to current day Mexico, with what seemed like a room of every year in between. We have shown photos of the arrangement of human remains found as sacrifices in the temple of the feathered serpant - these cats loved a good sacrifice. In this particular temple they found around 150 remains, aging from children to the elderly.

The two great things about Mexico City are the "street meat" food stalls and the awesome metro system, both of which are keeping us on budget. As you can probably tell Ebs is fascinated by both the colour and the tastes of these tiny kitchens and insists on trying a bit of everything. One thing we have found, no matter what you are eating, cucumber or mangoes, they put chilli and lemon on everything.
