When I'm on my travels, I sometimes blog
Mexico City, Day 9
Hello everybody!
On day 9, April 4th, Sam and I first took the metro and then changed to a bus to get to the magnificent Museo Soumaya. It's an art museum financed by the richest man in Mexico, Carlos Slim.
After having a look at the art inside, we had lunch at a nearby shopping centre.
The museum is on the outskirts of a very posh neighbourhood, Polanco. We walked for a while on Avenida Presidente Masaryk, where there are a whole lot of really expensive stores. Think jewelers like Cartier and Tiffany's and the designer brands to match, and you get the picture. We quickly got a bit bored since this was shopping out of our league, and there were not many people about, so we got a bus out of there.
Next was the Avenida Paseo de la Reforma or Reforma for short. It's a broad, green avenue with wide sidewalks on either side and another walkway in the middle. Lots of large banks and other office buildings line the street.
After a six hour excursion, we made our way back to the hotel for a bit of rest before going out for dinner and a proper night shoot, the first one of the trip. I did one more and I think I'll do a special blog post about those nights. Most of the photos here are from the Reforma and all from the first walk of the day.
Be well!
Niklas
