I love Jacaranda trees! The only drawback is that when they fall, they attract a lot of bees. When I was a toddler, I used to get stug by a lot of them while running barefoot on Jacaranda petals...

Oh, that didn't even occur to me, but it makes sense: even on the ground they exude a strong scent, and are probably still full of nectar. No wonder bees love them!

Hey, @stortebeker.

I saw the title with Chapultepec in it and I just had to stop! :)

My wife grew up in Neza, so the times she and our boys have gone (or me, when I've been able to go), there's always a trip to Chapultepec park. Generally, we've ended up in the Anthropology Museum. Somehow, I've managed to miss the forest part, and now I'm wondering how that even happened!

I can see on the map that it's kind of central east of that whole park area, so maybe we've come in on the other side? We've generally ridden the metro and then walked from there the times I've actually gone.

So, I guess the next time I go, there's more now to explore. I'd love to see the Jacaranda trees in bloom. :)

The park stretches from Metro Chapultpepec, close to the Chapultepec Castle all the way out into the western neighborhoods of Lomas, where it is less manicured. But Cd Neza... that's a whole different world. So close (okay, even spatially it isn't that close), yet so far away.

From what I remember, it is a fair jaunt to get from where my wife's family lives to Chapultepec. The only place I've ever ridden on a subway train, and although it was crowded during certain times of the day, it wasn't that bad during others. Just had to time it right.

I much preferred that way of travel than coming back in taxis. Combis are kind of fun (as long as you're sitting next to someone who doesn't mind if you fall over them when you get bounced around :).

I really don't know much about Neza other than the neighborhoods where my wife's family lives. Obviously it's different than the Park area and surrounding business and downtown districts. We could get lost in the museum, there's so much to look at.
