Today we checked out of our hotel in Polanco and moved to a hotel in the historic Center. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived so we went out for a walk.
Then we had lunch at our hotel. Snacks (sandwiches, beer, wine, etc.) are included in the price of our room.
We were able to get into our room by 2:00. We have a fantastic view of the Zócalo with the cathedral on the north side and the Palácio Nacional on the east side. Behind the Palácio Nacional we can see the Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuarl volcanoes. When Duke lived in Mexico City in 1981-2 he says he never saw the volcanoes because the smog was so bad.
We ate dinner at a rooftop restaurant not far from our hotel.

Nice. Are the volcanoes active? Mexico City is more beautiful than i imagined.

The volcano on the right, to the south, Popocatépetl is active. It’s apparently about 40 miles away. We can sometimes see smoke coming out of it.
