Downtown Mexico City

Only a couple of days in Mexico City, but we had a little bit of time to do some sight-seeing.

Took a "short" taxi ride of 45 minutes to drop off luggage at Gaby's house (she's close to the airport), and then another quick 40 minute jaunt to downtown Mexico.

The Church is th centerpiece of the downtown area - kind of surprised there wasn't at least one Coach or Starbucks within walking distance, but they haven't gotten to that regentrification thing yet.

The Church actually was kind of fascinating since it was basically built on old Indian ruins - you can actually see the foundations through a glass sidewalk in front of the building which is pretty cool.
