The picture above is of La Reforma, a famous road in Mexico City. The view is from Chapultepec Castle where Emperor Maximilian and his wife lived. The six white towers at the bottom are the
Niños Héroes monument to honor the brave teenage boys who fought to defend the castle during the Mexican-American war. They almost erased this event from history books altogether because the boys were breaking military orders to begin with, but decided it was too patriotic to leave out.
Here I am at Teotihuacan on the Pyramid of the Sun with a view of the Pyramid of the Moon in the background. I don't know that guy in the picture.
