We go on a boat tour in Xochimilco Canals. This is our captain. |
A plant nursery at the side of the bank. |
Some dolls hung on trees. Creepy... |
We travel slowly down the canal. |
This is a mariachi band singing too another boat. |
A lady cooks in a boat. |
We bought some tacos to eat |
Two ducks follow our boat.. |
...and another one joins them. |
These people are cooking and selling corn on their boat. |
Someone sells baskets of flowers apparently. They're so pretty! |
A snack vendor. |
We buy a snack. It is a wafer with sunflower seeds and syrup inside. |
We see this heron on the bank of the canal. |
We saw this dog on a roof. I hope it's okay. |
We see a house with a bunch of dogs! |
The canal we are in has many flowers. |
After we finish the canal tour, we eat cookies we bought earlier while we walk to dinner. |
The plaza where the restaurant is has pretty decorations. |
The place we eat at is called El Caporal. |
I had chicken, potato, onion tacos. |
This is pazole, or pork soup. |
There is a pig head and some meat out for decoration. |
After eating we take the subway home. To be continued. |
Did you see that !! There is a chicken amongst the dogs!!
ReplyDeleteYup! Although its back is turned.
DeleteWhat a brave chicken <= oxymoron????
DeleteIndeed.
DeleteI like the third duck the best. It is very unique: black and white.
ReplyDeleteLove all your pictures. Your canal cruise reminds me of the Mekong Delta cruise I took in Vietnam.
ReplyDeletePig's head for restaurant decoration….that's.…ahem…arr…unique!!!
I didn't know the subway in Mexico City is so clean and modern!!!
Thank you for sharing your trip with us...all the wonderful pictures. I have never been to Mexico. Now I have learned something about the country.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, may be at some time, you could try to weave into the pictorials more of your thoughts, observations, and feelings. Something like a travelogue.
I am looking forward to the next installment.
