CDMX - 3: a lazy day

Sometimes we need those lazy days, you cannot just run run run. So we had breakfast at a nearby cafe, dropped laundry in a lavanderia. We went to the Museum of Anthropology, in which one could spend a week. It's an incredible museum of archeological artifacts, telling an anthropological story of the people who lived in the area of current time Mexico. Olmecs (1500–400 BCE), Maya (from 300 BCE), Teotihuacan, Toltec and Aztec (1325-1521 CE) cultures. Very impressive moder building. The entrances to different parts of the museum are from the inner courtyard.
This is the famous Aztec Sun Stone:
After the museum we were exhausted, we were just meandering in the park having a snack.
We ended up in Zócalo, the main square of CDMX where we visited the catherdal and the Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico. You can guess which one is which:
