As I slowly begin to master the art of travelling by
peseros (vans that have been gutted to hold up to ten passengers, weaving in & out of Mexico's side streets) in this crazy city, I begin to stumble upon more and more interesting sites that are not found in my guidebooks...and that, after all, is the true definition of getting to know your city =)
First is El Chopo, a university-funded museum near the historical center of the city. To be honest, I wasn't too crazy about the exhibits, but I was impressed by the building...it kinda reminded me of the Eiffel Tower =)

Next, I stumbled upon a very unusual church: I say unusual because here in México, the majority of structures built during the 19th century favor the Baroque school. However, the
Iglesia de la Sagrada Familia is more in the Byzantine style and very pleasing to the eye...
