Plaza de las Tres Culturas, Mexico City, Spring 2005
This was a neat section of the city where one could see the three cultures that have shaped Mexican society: the old Aztec pyramids, the colonial Catholic cathedral, and the megalopolis housing block in the background. Interestingly, this was the site of the final major battle between Cortez and the Aztecs. The plaza also was where hundreds of student demonstrators were massacred by government troops in 1968. Quite a place!
