A Glimpse of Mexico City in 1987

In 1987 I visited places around Mexico City for the first time with my friend who used to live there. I was glad to have her as my unofficial tour guide since she spoke Spanish fluently. We both worked for an airline at the time, so we made many travels together. (Before there were travel bloggers, there were travel junkies like us who chose to work in the travel industry in order to be able to afford travel.)

Ancient Pyramids in Mexico

We took a bus to Teotihuacan, a UNESCO world heritage site. We saw the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon which stand right next to each other about 45km outside of Mexico City.

We met Laura, from Bogota, on the bus and the three of us enjoyed each other’s company while walking around the historical site. (And as you travelers know, meeting people is a huge part to travel enjoyment).
