I like that cabin, or whatever it should be called, where one interior wall is covered with bookcases. (Not enough books, of course, but then "enough books" is like "enuf dakka.") Alas, there's too much vegetation, too close; my allergies would kill me within a week or two.
Is that place with the really ornate ceiling a hotel? I see what might be "housekeeping carts" on two of the galleries.
That picture with houses and such built all up the hillside ... the locals have a thing for the color red, don't they?

Looks to be a relatively affordable hotel, too, for a place in downtown Mexico City.

Amazing what "a girl in a tank top" looks like, isn't it? I think I can find an old image like that somewhere...
