We had explored the museum two days ago and I wanted to go back to see the rest. Kathy decided to stay back at the AirBnB to get the laundry done, get some personal things taken care of, and rest for the day. I headed out about 9 after getting the pups walked in the park and caught the bus and headed North. Funny thing about busses, unlike subways, they are dependent on surface activities. I made it all the way to the Hamburgo station to exit, walked across the street to get the #7 bus…. and there was a marathon or 5K going on. I found a rerouted bus stop, got on, and was dumped off one stop later as that was where Line 7 was ending today. LOL. I walked the mile or so to the museum.
The lines were a bit longer, being a Sunday. but they moved fast. The lines only took me 15 minutes. I had a nice chat with a lady and a gentleman who were switching back and forth from English to German. Apparently she works in the US for a Deutsch firm and was down in CDMX with their counterparts for an onsite, get to know the team, function. Cool job. I spoke a bit of German to them, but surprisingly understood quite a lot of what the were saying. I wish my Spanish was close to this.
I got in to the museum right around 10 AM and spent about 4 more hours learning about the Aztecs and the Mayans and the trade and movement in all of those people. It was really interesting in that the last part of the museum discussed northern Mexico, southern Arizona and New Mexico and the Anasazi’s. One of the things that I got to thinking is that 10 to 20 thousand years ago peope crossed the land bridge and settled the Americas. People of Europe/Africa/Asia were all developing similarly in the plentiful areas on the planet. It is two evolutionary paths and societal development until around 1500 when the east met the west. I wonder what studies have been made to compare the development. I might have to look into that.
I left the museum and walked through the park, which was packed on the Sunday. Tons of vendors, people waiting in line for paddle boats, sitting under trees, etc. I stopped for a bit to eat and then walked to the subway to get back home.
