After the ruins and the museum that followed, we both need lunch. We walked down the street and came to Café Tubaca. This was an old convent and now it served some great Mexican food. Bex’s tacos had the freshest vegetables I can remember seeing since being here. Reenergized we decided to continue walking away from the Zocalo and visited the Diego Riviera Mural Museum. Surprising the whole museum was one mural. It was a good mural & they explained all the characters but it was just the one. From there we went home to rest for a moment and then hopped on a tour bus Chapultepec Park. The tour took us through some of the nicer neighborhoods in Mexico City, Condessa, Zona Rosa, and along Avenue Reforma. Reforma has many landmarks on it, including a statue to Christopher Columbus; the last Aztec king, Cuauhtemoc; and the famous Angel of Independence.
The bus returned us to the Zocalo as well which we saw as the sun set. It was much more active then in the morning. To our surprise as the bus returned down Reforma we saw those colorful creatures again. The lined them along this main road. The bus tour was a great way to see the city and we really enjoy it. We got off in Polanco and had a great dinner at Central Brasserie. This was a great escape from the housework
