Reforma Avenue is closed off to traffic on Sundays, turning the insanely busy road into a pedestrian path where it is finally safe to go view some of the cities most well known monuments.
Ouest has been wanting to see El Ángel for awhile. It was pretty from the street, but we were really looking forward to climbing the steps to the top. For some reason they wouldn’t let us up, though. Something about it being reserved.
No problem, on to the Monument to the Revolution.
The monument itself is huge, as is the plaza. The biggest “Triumphal Arch” in the world apparently. It reminded me of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but on an even larger scale. Best of all, at the foot of it is a water fountain park to play in.
The kids got me in there—after Ali volunteered me—and just about the moment that I had soaked my jeans straight through they said they were too cold.

Great family fun…
It being cold must be because of the altitude.
The city looks clean and tidy.
Just the water was cold. Temps during the day are around 80 degrees.
Haha!! Nothing like soaked jeans! – great photos, Ali
We’re 45 miles north of Phoenix right now and being “too cold” sounds really good right about now. Hope you have a safe and pleasant trip home.
