Day Three (Wednesday) in Mexico City started with an early run as Site Host Diego Perez-Salazar Marina, M.D. went above and beyond leading Theodore Shybut, M.D., FAANA and Peter Vezeridis, M.D. around Parque La Mexicana. The 2023 AANA Traveling Fellows’ “Nothing Beats Having Fun” continues inside the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. The Traveling Fellows and Godfather truly enjoyed the amazing combination of Art Deco architecture with visually stunning and historically significant murals from Rivera, Sequeiros, Tamayo and more.
