Chapultepec, more commonly called the "Bosque de Chapultepec" (Chapultepec Forest) in Mexico City, is one of the largest city parks in the Western Hemisphere, measuring in total just over 686 hectares (1,695 acres). Centered on a rock formation called Chapultepec Hill, one of the park's main functions is to be an ecological space in the vast megalopolis. It is considered the first and most important of Mexico City's "lungs", with trees that replenish oxygen to the Valley of Mexico. The park area has been inhabited and held as special since the Pre-Columbian era, when it became a retreat for Aztec rulers. In the colonial period, Chapultepec Castle would be built here, eventually becoming the official residence of Mexican heads of state. It would remain such until 1940, when it was moved to another part of the park called Los Pinos. Today, the park is divided into three sections, with the first section being the oldest and most visited. This section contains most of the park's attractions including its zoo, the Museum of Anthropology, the Rufino Tamayo Museum, and more. It receives an estimated 15 million visitors per year. This prompted the need for major rehabilitation efforts which began in 2005 and ended in 2010.

XOCHIMILCO (Southern Mexico City)
XOCHIMILCO (Southern Mexico City) foto: @_ithaka_ [][][] An ancient (pre-Aztec) series of canals between man made agricultural islands in the middle of a large lake. For about the last hundred years it has also been the zone of an incredible folklorish activity...riding up and down the canals in Trajineras (gondola barges). Basically you show up with with 10-15 of your best friends and...rent a barge and an gondolier and Go. Other smaller barges arrive with by your side with home-cooked meals and drinks...even Mariachis come floating by to serenade you.

______________________________________________________
Takashi Murakami (村上 隆 Murakami Takashi?, born February 1, 1962) is an internationally prolific contemporary Japanese artist. He works in fine arts media—such as painting and sculpture—as well as what is conventionally considered commercial media —fashion, merchandise, and animation— and is known for blurring the line between high and low arts. He coined the termsuperflat, which describes both the aesthetic characteristics of the Japanese artistic tradition and the nature of post-war Japanese culture and society.
