Guided Walking Tour
We took a guided walking tour around the historic center of Mexico City. He gave us an overview of the sacred precinct of Tenochtitlan.
Tenochtitlan was the capital city of the Aztec Empire, founded in 1325 on an island in Lake Texcoco, in present-day Mexico City. It was a remarkable urban center known for its complex architecture, advanced agriculture, and vibrant trade networks. The city was eventually conquered by Hernán Cortés and his Spanish forces in 1521, and its ruins now lie beneath modern-day Mexico City.
The Templo Mayor (pictured behind the guide) was the main temple of the Mexica people in their capital city of Tenōchtitlan, now Mexico City. Its architectural style belongs to the late Postclassic period of Mesoamerica.

Churchill Downs Stables
In the guided van tour, riders ride among the signature green-roofed barns, home to 1,700 horses during the racing and training season. In addition to the horses, they see some of the hundreds of people who live and work on the Backside as they care for and train the world-class Thoroughbreds.
We saw the stables where winning horses have lived during their time at Churchill Downs (there are plaques to honor each Kentucky Derby winning horse at their named stable)
