Mexico City<br />
Travel Story<br />
One of the main reasons I traveled to Mexico City instead of Mexico’s beach<br />
regions was to have the chance to visit Casa Azul also known as Museo Frida<br />
Kahlo. The city was originally founded by the Aztecs in 1325 on a series of<br />
islands in Lake Texcoco and was later conquered by the Spanish in 1521 and<br />
renamed Ciudad de México. Today, Mexico City is the capital of Mexico and<br />
one of the largest cities in the world. It is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city<br />
with a diverse population and a rich cultural heritage that I would experience<br />
during my visit.<br />
