Museo de Arte Moderno and National Auditorium – Mexico City day 3

This morning we started out by walking to the Museum of Modern Art.

Next we walked to the Audiorama in Parque d’Espagne. Along the way we went by the Monumento a los Niños Heroes. It honors the young men in the castle of Chapultepec who were killed when the American Army invaded Mexico City.

When we got to the Audiorama it was closed so we took an Uber back to near our hotel and had lunch at a taqueria, El Turix, that only serves Yucatán style pulled pork. At 2:00 there was still a line. Apparently it has been in that location forever. The tacos were good.

Tonight we went to see the movie Whiplash with a live band at the National Auditorium.

The music was fantastic.

After the concert we went to dinner at a nearby restaurant,
