A smaller group decided to visit the Zocalo (Center) Monday night. We got there (and back) using public transportation, first a bus and then the Metro subway system.
The above pictures may take a few moments to load, but you do not need to wait for them to finish loading if you see one you want to click on, or to select one from the table below.

| 9 | The Palace of Fine Arts. This building has sunk more than 5 feet over the years. |
