Around Chapultepec and MNAH

 I think it is no secret that the boy and I love discovering cities together. And our favorite way of doing it is just walking around. It would not be an exaggeration to say that we want to walk the world together, more than anything else, it's what we do on vacation.
Our last trip was the boy's fourth time in Mexico. I think I had already asked him a few times if he had been to the National Anthropology Museum, and he always said yes, I have, I went with my dad. Turns out, while we were at his Dad's we found out that in fact he had never been there. If you are in Mexico city for a very short time and have to choose only one place, I would say you have to go to MNAH (Museo Nacional de Antropologia e Historia). It is the biggest collection of important objects from the many different civilizations that flourished in the different states of Mexico since ancient times. You have the Aztecs and the Mayans of course, but also the Olmecs, Tenochca's, Mixtecs, Zapotecs and many more civilizations that made Mexico the rich and diverse country that it is. If you go there, you should also take a stroll in the big Chapultepec park, that even has a castle (the only Royal Castle of Latin America) and maybe also go to the Chapultepec Zoo (the first zoo outside of China to ever succeed in breeding Panda's).
When you finish you can take a walk around Reforma (on of the main avenues in Mexico city), see the emblematic Angel de la Independencia and go from there... (but that would be another post).
