La Ciudad de México, DF (Parte 3)






Our third and final day in Mexico City, we went to Chapultapec Park, where we visited the Museum of Anthropology and Maximilian's Castle. At the museum, we saw the Ballet Folklórico, which consists of dances from different states in Mexico.  We also saw many artifacts from the ancient indigenous people. My favorite artifact is the quetzal feather headdress. The quetzal is a little bird with a really long tail of pretty feathers. It's very rare and hardly anyone sees them anymore.  The giant Aztec calendar is pretty famous and also cool. 

After Chapultapec, we left the city, stopped for lunch, and headed back to Morelia. It was good to go back. I like Morelia a lot better than Mexico City.  Morelia is smaller and prettier, and all around nicer.
