Man Selling Hats! 

We went to the Presidential Palace and were able to learn more about the history of their capital city. 

The artwork and display of their history was amazing. 

Here's Mary!

This is by Diego Rivera. 

His art told the history of the country.

It was very sad, but also very strong.

These paintings were several stories tall. 

Independence! 

The Spanish invasion.

Their national symbol.

The spanish killing their people and their governmental figures. 

The civil war

Frida

His artwork went around the courtyard.

Me and Dad!! 

The Church, Mexico City ~ Part 2

The church here was mind blowing! 

This was all real gold! 

I was amazed at the details in the statues. 

Here's some pictures of the service they were holding while we visited. 

This is the door! That's Alyssa standing next to it taking pictures! 

This place was so beautiful!! 

They had some amazing artwork and statues. 

Back outside!

We went around the corner to see where they had just uncovered some old pyramids. 

They built the church over a pyramid that had been used for human sacrifices. Yikes. 

My boy! 

After we finished here we headed over to the Presidential Palace. 

I will post more of that soon!
