This is Day 2 of our trip and the weather was amazing. We started our day frolicking the Historic Downtown or the Zocalo where everything is vibrant and alive. The city gives you a good contrast of old and new. We visited Palacio Nacional, the White House of Mexico. In this grandiose palace, you can see murals painted by the famous Diego Rivera (Frida Kahlo's husband). The murals depicted indigineous life before the Spain conquered Mexico. The murals are colorful and it covers the vast walls of the palace. 

The Cathedral in Mexico City reminded us of the churches in the Philippines. As you know, the Philippines was conquered by Spain for 330 plus years. This cathedral is one of the largest churches across the Americas. It was built in a span of two centuries and the architecutre/design is inspired by cathedrals found in Spain. This picture don't do justice on how humungous the cathedral was. 

Depsite its reputation, Mexico City is a fun city to visit. The steets are easy to navigate and they have an efficient transportation system plus Uber (do not underestimate the power of Uber in this city). No doubt, despite the continous modernization of the nation's capital, the city still carries a colonial feel. The city is fascinating in its own right and be ready to be surprised.

The Vanderbilts, a family name that is well recognized and prominent during the Industrial Revolution in America. The Biltmore Estate is the family home of the Vanderbilts and its an epitome of luxury and elegance. Truly a must-see while visiting Asheville, North Carolina. Charm upon charm, the Biltmore House and the Estate Grounds will captivate your visit.

As we drove to the Estate entrance, we are immediately reminded of the post-Edwardian era in the United Kingdom. Often dubbed as the "Downton Abbey" of America, the Biltmore is breathtaking. The grandiose beauty of the Biltmore Estate will leave you speechless.

Brock needed the haircut and the barbershop was pretty neat so we decided to take pictures. We discovered this little shop while meandering the streets of Mexico City. Explaining how you want your haircut to be is quite an experience especially if you do not speak the language but we managed with a help of an English-speaking local.
