Insect caviar! An urban green space twice the size of Central Park! The 52,000-pound Aztec Sun Stone!
The oldest and highest elevation North American metropolis dives straight into the hearts of the Exploregonians as they venture to Mexico City.
Katie and Jordan make a friend on the plane and after landing, has her parents give them all a tour of the historical heart of the city and then a pitstop to a secret doughnut experience.
Katie gushes about Mexico City’s art scene and Jordan loves the wild murals and graffiti.
Jordan forces himself to wear jeans in the heat of Mexico because he read, in order to blend in, wear pants; Thankfully, it doesn’t prevent him from enjoying all the trees in the city.
Katie is obsessed with Chapultepec, the enormous urban park twice the size of Manhattan’s Central Park. The two tour the National Anthropology Museum and Katie discovers the charming ball game in “The Road to El Dorado” is real and often ended in decapitation, but before they entered the museum, were ambush-interviewed by a group of 12-year-old boys on a field trip.
The city will always hold a special place in Katie and Jordan’s hearts.
