Mexico Part 3- Subpart 2


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.

  2. I like the third duck the best. It is very unique: black and white.

  4. 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.
    Just 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.
