We were back on the subway yesterday heading for downtown again. The subway gets easier every time I use it. Saturday morning was less crowded as I suppose folks were getting a later start to their day. The subway is 5 pesos one way. That's less than 40 cents right now. What a bargain. Our destination was the Belles Artes. A beautiful building and the location of many fine murals by Diego Rivera, Siqueiros and Tamayo. Outside is the beautiful Parque Alameda and just beyond that is the smaller museum that houses the most famous of Rivera's murals depicting La Catrina and historical figures walking through the Parque Alameda on a fine Sunday afternoon. The mural survived the earthquake in 1985 that killed thousands in the city and was later moved to its current location. When we arrived at the museum there was a recital of pianist and vocalists going on so we could not get up very close to the mural. Apologies to the artists as I came in scrunching my water bottle and zip zip zipping my purse.
