4 days  /  friend's house  / 2010

After 2 weeks travel in Central America wheelchair alone, I visited my Japanese friend's house in Mexico city. Very nice central plaza and cathedral. Here was the capital of the Azteca age. 

Many historical building around central. Here is a public office. 

Teotihuacan pyramid is located 50 km north from Mexico city. I hired a taxi, 50 US$ + highway and parking fee. Just 1 hour by car if no traffic. Many bus from Mexico city north terminal, but not accessible and arrive at the main gate. Some stairs at the main gate of moon pyramid, west side. So wheelchair users should go around east gate. Taxi is the best. Non step from east side. Tourist tried to climb up pyramid. Be careful and not so hurry because the  2300 m high place. Pyramid height is 98 m.

Every Sunday night, " Lucha Libre " in Arena Coliseo where is located 10 minutes north from the Cathedral. 
Mexican professional wrestling. Masked wrestlers show. 

The ticket price less than 10 US$. No wheelchair seat, but possible to watch. 
Staff helped me at many steps of gate. I bought ground floor seat. Difficult to move my seat. Just watch behind the seats.

Mexican food. Tortilla with beans, cheese, and meat. Corn or wheat flour crape. Lapped cooking.  

Nice fresh juice. Strawberry and Coconuts. Many fruits in Mexico.

Accessibility is not so bad. Some ramp at building and street now.

Wheelchair accessible toilet at airport. USA style.

Cancun beach resort. My first visit to Mexico. 4 days in Cancun and 4 days in Cuba. Nice stay. Especially, chicken pizza.  Chichen Itza is Maya ruins. Great place. 1 day tour from Cancun. Don't miss it.
