Like a lot of people I had visited Mexico’s coasts: the Riviera Maya on the Caribbean side and Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific one. But I had never visited Mexico city<\/strong>, and, more importantly I had never visited au the end of October for the D\u00eda de los Muertos. Having read an article in the local paper about all the celebrations surrounding this yearly event, I was curious to experience it first hand. And I was lucky enough to get an invite!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I flew into Mexico city. My first impression was very good, it does not feel as polluted as it is known to be, and although it is huge and densely populated (21,672,000 at last count) I never felt crowded or overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first explorations revealed beautiful architecture, a lot of art work, in parks and roundabouts and streets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
