Monumento de la Revolucion y el Castillo de Chapultopec

Brand new park opened up with crazy cool fountains and statues.

They love their disco lights here.  Every bar, every park...just everywhere!

View from the top of the monument of the revolution.

In Chapultopec park--its massive, you could spend a week there alone.  There are like 10 museums, the zoo, a little lake you can go paddling in and lots and lots of trees.

The castle of Chapultopec used to belong the Spanish royalty.  When they went back to Europe, it became the residence for the president of the country.  In the 1930s the president donated it to be turned into a national history museum and moved the official residence.

There are a ton of balconies and gardens and fountains and turrets and courtyards, and it sits quite high up so you can overlook the city.
