We could see he knew it, as we have some knowledge ourselves. And also, a food account of some of the archeological sites in Mexico City, without the political tint. That was good, we wanted facts.

The museum was the highlight for sure, the Chapultepec castle is a one time visit but after learning so much about the Olmecs and Mexicas, seeing Versailles influenced design in the castle just didn’t compare. If you’re ok with a long day, do both!”
