Vacation - January
18, 2026
</title>
<description>

      &lt;p&gt;We took an eight-day family
      vacation to Mexico City, staying in the &lt;a
      href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapultepec&quot;&gt;Chapultepec&lt;/a&gt;
      section of the city.  We visited
      many impressive museums, churches, a &lt;a
      href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapultepec_Castle&quot;&gt;castle,&lt;/a&gt;
      and a &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapultepec_Zoo&quot;&gt;zoo&lt;/a&gt;
      in that area.  We also visited the &lt;a
      href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyoac%C3%A1n&quot;&gt;Coyoacán&lt;/a&gt;
      area of the city, including the &lt;a
      href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida_Kahlo_Museum&quot;&gt;Frida
      Kahlo&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a
      href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Trotsky_House_Museum&quot;&gt;Trotsky&lt;/a&gt;
      museum houses.  One popular activity
      was a visit to the pre-Aztec city of &lt;a
      href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teotihuacan&quot;&gt;Teotihuacan.&lt;/a&gt;
      The food, of course, was amazing, and we got good at using the &lt;a
      href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_City_Metro&quot;&gt;metro.&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;/p&gt;
