Is a forest in the middle of the city. We went to see the Anthropology Museum and they have tons and TONS of ceramics. Lots of the famous stuff. All I want to do is get into a studio and make some stuff. We didn't even see half of it so tomorrow we have to go back. So this is the fountain in the entrance. The square roof over it is held up by cables coming from a single pillar, which goes up through a hole and the water comes pouring down around it. Impressive. And also a pond with millions of turtles.
We went in the metro finally, and didn't get robbed. Actually, I don´t think it´s anymore dangerous than any other metro in the world.
I guess that's it. Tomorrow is some sort of parade for Day of the Dead, which has decorations up everywhere just like Halloween, and also a marathon of independent movies from Spain that I want to go see.
Oh yeah! We also went to see the Rivera murals in the National Palace and they are more impressive in real life. They are HUGE.
Last thing that was great was the Audioforo or something like that. It's just this little part of the park where there are many colored benches that put you in a reclined position and there are speakers all around that play music. They were playing Girl From Ipanima when we were there. Some people were napping and others were making out or reading. It was very peaceful.

Quiere decir "Cerro del Chapulín". Es bien bonito, no tan bonito como el parque de la ciutadella, pero bueno, no todo el mundo puede ser catalunya. Fuimos al Museo Nacional de Antropología y tiene un montón de ceramicas, muchas de las piezas famosas, pero no pude ver ni la mitad porque pobre Joel se aburrió. Así que vuelvo mañana. La foto muestra el fuente en la plaza lo cual es impresionante. También hay un lagito con milliones de tortugas.
Mañana hay un desfile para Día de Muertos. Todas las tiendas tienen decoraciónes. Parece igual a Halloween. También hay un maratón de pelis en el Centro Cultural de España y me gustaría ver algo. También vimos los murales de Diego Rivera en el Palacio Nacional y son más impresionantes en vida.
Es raro estar aquí tan poco tiempo despúes de estar en España. Porque es tan differente. Ah, sí, también vimos el Audioforo o Audioforum o algo así. Es un rincón del parque donde suena música y hay donde tumbarse. Fue muy relajante.

I'm sure this fountain is very beautiful -- at least your description makes it sound so. However, I thought the picture was in a parking garage! So much for a picture being worth a thousand words :-)
