Good mix of activities, though it feels like someone at the main office dropped the ball and didn't pan ahead. Not getting tickets to the Frida museum was entirely poor planning and is unacceptable. The demonstration on New Year's getting cancelled is understandable, but alternative plans should have been made. New Year's occurs every year so it's not like it was a surprise or you didn't have time to make alternative arrangements.

The historical related activities (like archeological sites and historic learning) was a good mix with the more modern culture and current vibe of Mexico. Also experiencing the faster pace of CDMX versus Puebla/Oxaca was a great contrast.
