A bit of Oaxaca, and México City!

A cathedral in the zocalo in Mexico City. It took 300 years to make. And part of it is sinking because it was built on what was a lake.
"Never forget October 2nd." The day when 100s, maybe 1000s of students were massacred in protest against having the 1968 olympics. This was the 40th year anniversary.
Heh, globalization at it's best. There was also a Starbucks, as well as many
other multinational chains.
The Zocalo in Mexico City. The evening of Oct. 2, there were around 30,000 people here.
El Templo Mayor. The major Aztec Temple, also in the Zocalo
The church is called Santo Domingo. It's about 1 block from my house in Oaxaca. It's absolutely gorgeous. El Tule. One of the biggest and oldest trees in the world. Over 2,000 years old!

Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). National Autonomous University of Mexico. 3,000 people attend there. It's humongous.
Frida Kahlo Musem in Mexico City. Wow!
