Light duties for the first day. We’re 6 hours behind the UK, so the body clock is mildly confused. Add to that the altitude and we weren’t at our best.
But we are staying in a lovely quiet area in a huge apartment so are very comfortable.
Main tasks were getting provisions – found a Walmart Express around the corner which ticked that bpx pretty quickly.
Then the Anthropological Museum – amazing and overwhelming in equal measure.
Knew about the Aztecs and Mayans – well at least their existence and a tiny bit of history – but had no idea about the huge numbers of other civilisations over thousands of years. Learned a bit, but it definitely puts the rest of the trip into some sort of context.
It’s a lot more Spanish and not much English here than I expected so didn’t pick up many details. But I think the acrobat might be as much as 3,000 years old.
