Why in Mexico City?

Mexico City out of my hotel window

Favorite thing: Mexico City is located in the Valley of Mexico, a large valley in the high plateaus at the center of Mexico, at an altitude of 2,240 metres, making it among the highest capitals in the world. It is summer here when winter is in Moscow, but in January it isn't very hot.

It became the first capital which I visited in America, the highest city I ever visited and my first American civilization which I’m planning to explore more close.It was my dream since my childhood to investigate Aztecs civilization and this desire became stronger after reading some books with new versions about American ancient civilizations. Besides that I liked an American epic action-adventure film directed by Mel Gibson “Apocalipto”.
And the last reason: it is summer here when winter is in Moscow, but in January it isn't very hot.
I spent there three days and want to share my impressions, photos and videos.

You can watch my 3 min 39 sec HD Video Mexico City around by bus part 1 out of my Youtube channel.

You can watch my photo of Mexico City on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 19° 26' 7.56" N 99° 9' 3.25" W or on my Google Earth Panoramio Mexico City (out of Melia Reforma Hotel window).

Favorite thing: The city was originally built on an island of Lake Texcoco by the Aztecs in 1325 as Tenochtitlan, which was almost completely destroyed in the 1521 siege of Tenochtitlan, and subsequently redesigned and rebuilt in accordance with the Spanish urban standards.
In 1524, the municipality of Mexico City was established, known as México Tenochtitlán, and as of 1585 it was officially known as La Ciudad de México (Mexico City).

You can watch my photo of Mexico City on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 19° 26' 2.46" N 99° 7' 55.43" W or on my Google Earth Panoramio Tenochtitlan.

Favorite thing: I was in Poland about a month before this trip to Mexico City and met Adriana on a train from Krakow to Oswiecim (Auschwitz). By the end of our journey she told me, "mi casa es su casa," but I doubt she actually expected to see me so soon! She was traveling around Europe for awhile and it turned out she was back home in Mexico just in time and was kind enough to hang out with me a bit. It was fun getting to see some neighborhoods I wouldn't have seen if not for her and to spend some time at her beautiful home (El palacio de Adriana!).
