From 14 to 21 May, I travelled for about a week around central Mexico by myself. I hit 3 spots: Mexico City, Puebla and Oaxaca. I decided that travelling for 8 whole days by myself is way too tiring for my taste, though I'm glad I did it. I saw Teotihuacan and Monte Alban too. I realised I haven't written about my travels in a long time and when I go back and reread my old entries, I like looking at the pictures most (HAH), so for posterity reasons I've decided to sit down and at least hammer something out.
First picture I took in Mexico, at the side of the Cathedral in Mexico City. Thought the statue looked bizarrely creepy.
Some sort of world fair thing that I visited in the Zocalo of Mexico City on my first day. Enjoyed it immensely, and even bought myself some Bandung from the Malaysia stall.
Funny smiling jaguar sculpture at the Museo Nacional de Antropologia. My favourite of all.
Quetzalcoatl temple at Teotihuacan
Visitors sitting atop the Pyramid of the Sun, looking at the Pyramid of the Moon at Teotihuacan.
The Zocalo in Puebla on a Sunday
I kept feeling impressed by the relics I saw in the various museums [this one was Museo Amparo in Puebla]. How the hell did this "Personaje con mascara y serpientes en el tocado" from 600 to 900 A.D. not break?
Santo Domingo Church in Oaxaca, also the site of the province's museum.
More funny relics in Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca. I like.
And finally, Monte Alban, just outside the centre of Oaxaca.
I am quite a terrible travel writer. I'm better when I'm writing about my emotions or something.
