A day in Mexico City in Pictures

I'm back in Mexico City and I'm barely having time for myself.

---

My daily activities go from trying to get my Steem projects rolling, keeping up with the family I haven't seen in a while, doing city paperwork and at the same time trying to do some touristing around with @eveuncovered and @zlatan-spielberg, so obviously now you know why I haven't posted so much, but don't worry I'm still steeming behind the scenes and @steemonboarding is coming to shape more and more every day.

One of this days, meant walking around two of the most iconic spots in Mexico city: Reforma avenue and the small town center called Coyoacán.

Reforma Is one of the most important streets in Mexico City and it's also a touristic spot. Between all the office buildings and the traffic, the government decided to invest a lot of money in making it beautiful, because tourists were already walking by it every day.

Where there's no vegetation, the walls are covered by painting exhibitions and, where there's vegetation, sculptured occupy those spaces.

We walked for around 45 minutes looking for the entrance to the Chapultepec Park and Castle where you can find some local fauns, then go walk around the lake and then hike a small mountain where you can find a 250 years old castle and finish up with a visit to the museum but oh, surprise, most museums and local touristic spots are not open for public attendance on Mondays. I knew this, but it's been so long since I visited around Mexico City that I forgot :(

So we kept walking the beautiful avenue and we ran into a nice surprise.

Dogs are always a nice surprise and it's even better when you spot so many in one single place.

We pretty much reached the end of the touristic side of the Reforma Avenue, so we decided to hit another famours touristic spot, this one being a more bohemian/hippy side of the city: Coyoacán.

This is the perfect place to visit for someone who is not scared of being into a less mainstream touristic venue while still being somewhat normal to find a few tourists walking around with a big camera and thirst for the real Mexico City.

Back when Mexico City wasn't a megalopolis, there where a lot of small towns like Coyoacán, Tlalpan, Tacubaya and some others. These towns, now surrounded by buildings, streets and modern architecture, still preserve some of the traditions and general vibe they had 50-100 years ago: small streets, old buildings, ancient churches, parks, local markets and much more.

After waking around Downtown Coyoacán I got tired - I had a rough weekend, but you'll learn about it some other time - and sat down for a while.

I enjoyed the company of a very welcomed visitor!

And another one from a not so welcomed one

Anyway, we still had to hit the local market, especially since we were all hungry and some of the best Mexican dishes are those that are inside cheap, a bit dirty and very colorful places.

Overall, it was a good afternoon in Coyoacán, or if you may, The place of coyotes.
