we went to the palacio nacional, which was pretty awesome.
a lot of history packed into one huge building.
there are two different diego rivera murals there, and as we were admiring this one, we ran into our host brother, pepe, who was in town for a class trip. really funny.
but it was really an experience to be in a building that has housed so much of the events we are learning about in classes currently.
especially seeing as throughout the weekend, we experienced more of that history through marches to the zocalo (of workers dissatisfied with the current president) and the expression of the musicians at vive latino! a really enlightening weekend as the historic and current sense of mexico.
