A saturday down town Mexico D.F. (Mexico City)

First one need a good breakfast with some live music.

More breakfast

Some interesting lamps. Omelet with ham and cheese.

More breakfast

Some healthy cakes. Keeping the stuff warm.

Town square

A view over the Cathedral and Parliament (to the right).

The Mexican flagg The Cathedral

In the middle of the square there is this huge Méxican flag. Just a litte bit further away to the right of the cathedral are the remains of the original pyramids.

Indians dancing Model over the orignal town

Original inhabitants performing a little dance. A model of the orignal town from the early 1500s. Most of what today is Mexico City was at that time a lake(!)

Remains of the pyramid
Not much left of the pyramids though.

Dog waiting Tired of waiting

Looking for its master This one got tired waiting :-)

Facade Facade

Looks like a nice façade, right? Well, it must be kind of windy living there...

Nice old car The incredible hulk

Old nice car. I thought the Incredible Hulk was green?

Deserted house Nice backyard

There are still a number of deserted houses from the major earthquake in 1985.

Hotel Ceiling

A nice old hotel down town with some nice interior. The glass ceiling.

Church Church

Every here and there there are churches. This one is leaning a bit, which might be visible in the picture. The interior.

Leaning house

México City has a problem with overuse of water which makes the ground sink. This can be clearly seen in some houses downtown.
The house to the left is leaning out and down into the picture.

Croked House La Puerta

This house was visible croked, but it might not show in this picture Old green door.

The Disco Altura Colorful house

Up on the roof of this house there is a discotheque called Altura. Nice color.

The Music Man Old and new house

No monkey :-) Old building and another not so old, but taller.

Raining Raining

And all of a sudden it can start raining cats'n'dogs, and that since it still is rain season.

Palacio Hierro

The parking guys at Palacio de Hierro (The Iron Palace), which is a shopping center. The guy with the gun is making sure people don't leave without shopping ;-)
