    Ok, let’s start with Day 3 (Sunday)

    There’s a place called Palacio de Bellas Artes, was built by President Porfirio Diaz in 1904 but it opened until 1934 because of the Mexican Revolution and a lot of political issues, It is THE place of Fine Arts in Mexico. It has works of the muralists David Alfaro Siqueiros, Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco

    Here is Llew, and us at the outside of the Palace




    A marble statue


    Inside view


    My wife and my baby girl


    One of the murals “El hombre del futuro” (The man of the future)


    That’s was the first part of the day, tomorrow I will upload the last part of the day

    Cheers
    Omar

    Second and last part of Day 3

    We went to Basilica de los Remedios, It used to be a convent or monastery, the first stone of this building was placed by Archbishop Juan Pérez de la Serna in 1609 and it was inaugurated in 1709.

    Here is the outside view


    At the outside esplanade we saw the Voladores de Papantla or Papantla’s Flyers, it’s a tradition that takes place in Veracruz at the town called Papantla, they climb a big pole and start to whirl and they are tied with a rope and they start to get down slowly, here are some pics




    Then we get inside the monastery and we saw a marble sculpture that gave us a recommendation



    Then Llew wanted to refresh



    Then we had a tour through the rest of the monastery




    And the last picture of the trip



    Me and my family had a great time, we want to thank you Derek because of this great opportunity.

    Today I will try to go to the post office and send Llew to Australia
    Cheers
    Omar

    Wonderful set of pictures Omar, I, for one, enjoyed them thoroughly as I am sure everyone else did also.
