Mexican Revolution Monument



Today Doug and I went out to the plaza across from the hotel. On the weekends it turns into a market. We did finally go get cell phones and we walked through the market. There was a clown doing some tricks and we accidentally walked right through his stage area of the side walk and he yelled out in English, "Hello Friends. How are you. My name is Jacki Chan." We just kept walking away laughing while the audience surrounding him was laughing. We bought some fun little trinkettes and then walked to a taco stand for lunch. It was yummy! Then we walked down the street to a gait looking thing. When we got closer it was a lot taller and bigger than we thought. It was the Mexican Revolution Monument and Museum. We went up to the observation deck for $40 pesos a piece. We could see all around the city. Then we went down to the museum and read about the building. It was meant to be a huge government palace but there were numerous obsticals in building so they redesigned what would have been the dome of the palace and made it a gateway. There is a park surrounding the dome and a fountain to play in. Sally will love playing in it. It's a lot bigger than the tiny fountain we used to play through in Silver Spring. Fun little afternoon.
