Mexico City: Day 2

This was a very full day, since we toured the Zocolo and all of its museums. We started at the Museo Diego Rivera, where his huge mural, Afternoon in the Park, is located. Next, we headed to the Bellas Artes building, where Mexico City's Ballet Folklorico dances. The building has several floors of murals by Diego Rivera and others. We also toured the Palacio National to see the famous mural Rivera painted for the Rockefeller Center, the commissioning of which was cancelled when his work turned out to be too socialist (i.e., communist) for American comfort (go figure!)
Other exciting sites of the day include the bell tower tour of the Catedral Metropolitan (they actually let you climb on top of the cupola!), and the gilded post office (still in use).

I will add a slideshow as soon as I have time. Keep posted!
