Linking up with Eat Pray Run DC for this week’s Friday Five.
Here are 5 Things I love about Mexico City:
1. Paseo de la Reforma closes to vehicle traffic on Sunday mornings. The boulevard is instead given over to bicyclists, skaters, runners, and walkers. I haven’t done this for a while, but I think on Sunday I’ll go for a run!
2. The Zocalo is decorated with beautiful lights for holidays.
3. Magnificent churches, everywhere.
4. Mexico does not mess around with its cultural heritage. The treasures in the Anthropology Museum are mind-blowing.
5. Paseo de la Reforma also closes for protests. These marches make me cynical and hopeful at the same time. Cynical because the government allows these protests so citizen can feel like they’re doing something, when in reality nothing changes; and hopeful because the protesters keep at it.
What do you love about where you live?
Mexico City looks like a great place to visit! Pretty cool that they close down a street on Sundays for runners, walkers, etc.!
It’s an amazing city and a great place to visit!
Very cool list. There is a lot of beautiful things too see, such as the churches and from the antropological side of things like you mentioned. That is really could how they close it down for runners, cyclists and all.
I can’t wait to hit the road for a run tomorrow
I love the Christmas lights! And Mexico is definitely proud of its culture and heritage. I love it. 🙂
I love it too
Those cathedrals are stunning!
You should see the inside!
Wow, those churches are beautiful! We went to Mexico on our honeymoon and didn’t ever want to leave!
I don’t ever want to leave, either!
Beautiful pictures! Sounds like a cool city.
It’s an incredible city!
I have never been to Mexico City other than the airport. I am from San Diego and absolutely love it! It has everything I could want in a city.
San Diego sure is a pretty city!
I love the architecture! I would love to visit some day. I’ve never been West of East Texas. I would love to explore your area of the world!
