Recent Adventures...Sorry for the delay

Two Fridays ago, my class went on a trip to Chapultepec, a huge park, forest and castle right in the middle of Mexico City. Needless to say, it was amazing! Very strange to hear about Chapultepec for so long in Spanish class lessons and other areas, then to actually see it! Señor Hoffman, if you're reading this, you know what I'm talking about. I can't even begin to describe, but definitely click on the word Chapultepec to give some context to the photos.

In the first ones, you can see the park portion, imagine Central Park but more of an overgrown-looking forest, with elements of the National Mall; really fascinating. Half-planned and half not, it's a really interesting take on urban green space.


This reminded me a lot of the Mall

Not sure why the lake is green, but it is what it is

The view from the hill

Gorgeous

It really is a jungle
