My flight to DF boards at 7:40 am tomorrow. It's 9:39 pm and, of course, I have yet to pack.
Packing has got to be the most boring things ever. I do this everytime, I resist packing for trips. At least I am well fed and rested. One time I had to pack for a month away in SE Asia having not slept for 3 days. The flight left at 10am. I waited until 2:30 am to begin packing. It wasn't fun, it was no picnic.
We have a very loose itinerary proposed by our professor. Here are some images from the Interweb of some of those things we will visit.
This is our hotel, the Maria Cristina. We are located near the U.S. Embassy. Good thing?
Here is something called Los Torres de Satelite. Translation: The Satelite Towers. Built by Luis Barragan, one of Mexico's most prolific modernist architects.
The floating canal gardens of Xochimilco promise us wide-eyed landscape architects-in-training untold sights and wonders.
The urban "Grasshopper" Chapultepec Park houses the world famous Anthropogy Museum.
We will experience the immense demonstration of power and space at Zocalo Square, the heart of the city.
The trip will culminate with a visit to the past at Teotihuacan's Aztec ruins.
Photos will be posted at earliest convenience, but most likely not until week after next.
Vaya con Dios, amigos!

Looks to be an excellent voyage of discovery for you.
Be sure to compare/contrast the different uses of space between modern architects and ancient Aztecs... or something.
Have a good trip.
