Reforma day 2

This morning for breakfast we went back to Toks where we ate yesterday morning. Our breakfast was delicious.

After breakfast we went back to the hotel and then walked to the Monument to the Revolution. The giant arch has a museum, a cafe and an observation deck. It is the tallest triumphal arch in the world. Our visit included going down into the foundations and up to the lookout at the very top.

Next we walked to the Biblioteca Vasconcelos. The library is nothing special on the outside but it’s stupendous on the inside.

For dinner we had tacos at Taquería Orinoco. We agreed that it looked like an In-N-Out for tacos. They were busy. The tacos were wonderful. And the people were very friendly and helpful. We ordered a second round.

As we walked back to the hotel after dinner we had a great view of the arch.

You can see the elevator going up in the center.
