    The national bank of Mexico is an amazing place, it is perfect how all the pieces of the machinery mesh perfectly to be able to manufacture the Mexican pesos.

    The collection of the National Museum of Art is incredibly beautiful and extensive, and it took us quite a while to get out of there.
