If my count is accurate, Mexico City’s Metro has 146 stations. We thought it might be fun to visit all 146 stations and to introduce you to what’s around them in an occasional series called “Mexico City by Metro.” The first stop is Chapultepec, the station that is closest to Bosque de Chapultepec, the large urban park in the center of the city.

Chapultepec Lake and in the background Casa del Lago (House of The Lake) in Chapultepec Park, is a place devoted to cultural activities including dancing, music, theatre plays and ballet. It also serves as meeting place for university-related organizations and committees of the National University.

Children craned for a look as a platoon of Mexican bagpipers marched through the gates in tribute to a strange and divisive chapter of Irish-American history.
