Mexico City is fast and furious and full of history. the architecture and art displayed all over the city is stunning. Don't be put off visiting and spending time there by other peoples oppinions or the warnings in the guide books, i found the exact opposite in fact. I think the mexicans realise that tourism will keep their economy alive and as a result they can't help you enough! before you leave you must cram yourself into a beetle taxi just to realise how close the edge really is!! There are also several temple cities around. i visited Teotihuacan, which is thought to have been the first. They have stunningly rebuilt most of the city and you can climb the Pyramids which afford you amazing veiwsand photo oppourtunities.There are however some untouched 'freshly' excavated areas which i found more intruiging. The history of the country is so enticing and the combination of the native people and the spaniards comes together to make an energetic, colourful and creative culture, where art and creative talent is exposed everywhere you look.
