I understand this. Some days are good , some are awful. I'm usually not on Chit Chat when that kind of pain hits. I take spurts of doing something, and then lay down for awhile. The hospital found my degeneration when I was in the car with hubby, and I was the passenger . That's when I had to be cut out of the car because of an idiot ran the stop light. I got totaled as well as the car!

Sure, that would be great. I'm afraid we don't have the bucks to afford his homes. Maybe a fancy dog house would do!@betty rose, maybe you could move to Texas? @donaldtoo may adopt you and hubby if he keeps selling all these suits and ties.

As I'm getting older, I could be called part of the terrible twos!Hahaaa...!
They're definitely not against adopting, but, right now they just want to buy a home and try to have their own children first...!

Yup, I just get crazier these days!I grew up in the mountains and everyone has wood burning stoves. The smell of them, to me, is nostalgic. It reminds me of my childhood, and the woods, and Christmas. My great aunt has a house in the mountains right now, but she has to leave every winter because she's like you. The smoke gives her headaches

Oh this is an easy fix. I've had people try and talk around my DD and talk to me. I look them straight in the eye and say you need to directing this conversation to her not me. Your hubby needs to just do the same, please talk to her she is the patient and this is her body not mine.
It works.

Allright Folks..
Lets start.
We got out ready to take our plane in November 7 to Mexico City for our first stop.
We boarded an A321 from Volaris (low cost carrier).
The trip was not pretty much uneventful.
Hardly any shaking or turbulence.
Boring Takeoff and Landing (PVR to MEX)
After arriving, we headed immediately to dinner and then to rest in our hotel, which was in Downtown Mexico City.
In a very good area (2 blocks away from the Historic Zocalo of Mexico city)
We didnt had much sleep because Mexico City is noisy as hell and for me because the beds were hella uncomfortable lol.
So we requested a change on the next day.
We got a nice bigger room with no charge up. This room had 2 full rooms with 2 doubles.
The scary part is, the room I was in, had a very easy to feel "inclination" towards the street.
Note that this is completely normal as the city is unevenly sinking into what was the "old lake" of Mexico City.
A lot of buildings are leaning, sinking, etc.. you name it!
In some instances it is VERY noticeable.
Regardless, the room was extremely spacious. I got the bigger room that was inclinated and was looking at the street (Since I'm deaf) and my mother and sister got the internal room.
After we set our things up. We decided to just go to get breakfast as we had a trip planned.
We went first to Mexico City's Chapultepec Forest and the Chapultepec Castle (formerly the Presidential Palace of the likes of Porfirio Diaz and Maximilian of Hapsburg).
The place is pretty big, so we took an Uber to the entrance as we didnt want to deal with Metros.
We first went directly into the Castle as it was early and in between weeks. Perfect for a calm stroll before the army of teenagers and kids from schools went in.
There were a ton of Squirrels going around grabbing as they could. I found it because there were no cats at first. Then once the cats appeared, all Squirrels were gone!
The Castle and surrounding areas is full of monuments, statues and paintings/murals.
As well as lavish gardens of classic emperors of opulent leaders.
The "Castle" area has been pretty much transformed into an historical musseum of the story of Mexico.
From the Ancient days to the modern age (passing the Aztecs, Mayas, Spanish Empire, Colonial Age, French Empire, Mexican Empire, and its republics, wars..etc.. and then to modern day)
Continue....

Part 2:
We continued to check the castle, which is pretty big.
Id say you can easily take up to 4 hours just the castle portion.
As there is always other art displays (there were a lot of Day of the Death sections and even a temporal showroom displaying "luxury jewerly" from different countries)
The display for Mexico has alot of important artifacts.
From clothing, to small statues and memorabilia. Also things that existed back then or were used to make important things.
Like the plaques to make coinage and money paper.
The Independence Declaration:
Clothes
Money..
I have no idea if the jewerly were copies or not. But the text said these usually contained very expensive stuff.
Including Rubies and Sapphires, even Diamonds.
The most ridiculous one was from a Mexican Cardinal, it was the size of a medallion (almost as big as 10cms with a full giant sized oval Ruby )
And gold Clocks..
There was also a famous "door" made by Russians intended for an English palace.
Porfirio Diaz supposedly decided to buy it. Even if it had the symbols and logos of the Royal English lion.

The next section was the "living" portion f the Castle, which featured the palace.. The living area, the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, personal offices, etc..
Including some of the carriages:
Including the one of Maximilian, purchased and designed in Europe.
Containing Gold, Copper and other metals.
Inside, you could see the living areas of the Castle. Mostly by "big leaders" and people who declared themselves Emperors (aka despots and pseudo presidents).
Untitled_Panorama3 by John Tamale, on Flickr
Also the rooms of Carlota and Maximilian.
And there are some statues of the "Heroes" who were kids who died during the American War.
(supposedly 5,000 US american soldiers vs a small battalion of Mexican Soldiers in the castle of around 300 people, mostly young cadets)

If there's is any snow here for Christmas, I will happily send it your way. I have a plane to catch! Oh, and if it snows the day after, you can have that, too. DH is putting DD on a bus to head south with 200 of her friends.

More photos of the area before moving forward..
The place had some nice vitrales (glass)
Also has castle spires in some areas, this is the tallest one.
Right in the center.
Sadly this area was closed to the public.
Near the the room supposedly used by the "wife" and girlfriend of Dictator Porfirio Diaz. There is a small hallway with some very nice vitrals. Linking guest rooms and the bathroom. Also the a living room.
A view from the castle, surrounded by big tall buildings.
Most of the skycrappers and tall buildings are in the famous road called PASEO DE LA REFORMA.
These buildings are now surpassing the previous record of 110 meters tall (note that this area is outright sand, dirt and mud from the older lake). So they all supposedly capable of handling quakes up to 9.0 ( they have insane dampening systems, reinforcements..etc..)
After the castle, we went out of the way back to the forest.
We decided to get a drink.
One of the "typical" street drinks if Squirt (soda) with chili, lemon, salt and tamarindo. It tastes weird at first but then you get hooked. I drank 2 lol. And gave me bad stomach cramps later lol.
After this, we took a small touristic train around the forest, which did show some of the many buildings, statues, structures and monuments. Which are a lot mind you...
Including some nifty fountains. Main attraction was one long one (25 meters long I think) in the shape of Quetzalcoatl.
Also the oldest working fountain of Mexico, dating back to early 1900.
Once we finished, we decided to to eat. As my mother wanted to try a very specific dish.
Unfortunately when we got there. We took an Uber to the place and unfortunately.. they said the dish was seasonal and they ran out of ingredients.
So we decided to go nearby to eat. We had a nice lunch and used the facilities for a restroom break before heading to the Telcel Theatre (cellphone company that built a theatre for shows, which is below floor level) to see the Broadway musical of The Lion King.
Note that the show was heavily mexicanized. The whole thing was pretty much the show, but they added so much modisms, double words, alburs and hilarious jokes specific of Mexico.
I think Timon and Pumba stole the show from Sasu (He was ultra sassy ! ) in the joke department.
The entrance was BELOW this area, and we went approximately 8 floors down with automatic stairs (long stairs)
The hilarity was how much food and drinks were tolerated and encouraged by vendors.
You could be munching an oversized hotdog(most theatres have an strict no food policy)
