el zócalo

every sunday in the zócalo of mexico city, they lower the mexican flag. it was a big scene - and was definitely cool to take in. the zócalo has the cathedral, the national palace (diego has some murals in there), the remains of the templo mayor (temple built by the aztecs), and the oldest bar in latin america (also liquor license no. 1 of mexico). Most interesting thing was that the cathedral was built with the stones that had be used for the templo mayor. Talk about stickin it to the aztecs. geez.

disclaimer - i think it was the aztecs. excuse my ignorance if not.
