Four Days in Mexico City
For Thanksgiving we flitted off to Mexico City. More than a few people questioned our choice of vacation spot. Some were concerned about safety. I'm not even sure why I chose it.. my uncle had gone some months ago and since then I guess it was on my mind. So let me tell you, Mexico City surprised us in a couple ways. 1. It was so freaking clean! There was never a time that we didn't see workers sweeping and cleaning. 2. It was also so green.. there were trees and plants along every street. The larger roads had walking/bike paths in the middle also lined with trees and plants! 3. There are fountains everywhere. The fountains are also cleaned regularly.. no gunky water. 4. A large population was still masking. 5. There are paid turnstyle type public bathrooms everywhere. You pay six pesos to get in. They too were remarkably clean. 6. The city had many parks and many playgrounds. In Paris we had struggled to find even one playground but here we had to bribe the kids...
