Mexico - Chicken in billboard

Mexico City is "overpopulated" with billboards, but every once in a while we get to see some funny ones...  like this, part of a series featuring -but of course- chickens!

Mexico - Torre Latinoamericana

The tallest tower in Latin America for a long time, up to several years ago of course, the Torre Latinoamericana is always depicted whenever you see a skyline of Mexico City, along with the Angel de la Independencia (which ga posted already) and some others which will eventually appear here.

Mexico - Café El Jarocho

This café is not a very quiet and peaceful place, but it is quite famous and you can drink good coffee. Coyoacán is a small old town in the south of the city and famous for the market, cafés and bars.

Mexico - Morning traffic

This the traffic at 8:00 AM on one of the most important (high)ways in the city (le périf). All these people are going from the state of Mexico to Mexico city. At the back you can see the satelite towers, which are very representative in the state of Mexico.

Mexico - Ice cream

Salut, JM.  Since it doesn't snow here in the city, I thought I'd photograph some ice cream... see, the spanish word for "snow" is the same as for "ice cream", so it's like a pun...

Mexico - Mexican flag

This is our flag. This one is on the Independence square ("zócalo"), downtown.
February 24th: (mexican) flag day

Mexico - Far sunrise

I took many photos of many sunrises on several days, but it's so hard! I'll post this one so I don't satll this any longer. You can see a part of the city ver far away to the right.

Mexico - Independence Angel

This the Independence Angel, it is as significative to Mexico City as the Eiffel tower to Paris. People go on their wedding day to have pictures taken there.
