Xochimilco revisted...

Third day with the in-laws. Sore and tired. Maybe a nice boat ride will be refreshing and peaceful?
Well... anyways.

Without saying something that made get me in trouble, we finally managed to get the Anderson clan onto a trajinera (boat) and set off for 2 hours.
I think after all the complaining was over, the complainee admitted that they actually really enjoyed the ride?
We thought this was an important way to show really Mexican culture. These boats are more popular with local Mexican people celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, than they are with American tourists. I love the party atmosphere and the friendliness between other people on the boats.
Plus it gave us an excuse to take the Anderson's on the Metro! If there was ever a real Mexican experience, taking Metro is it!
Afterward, we all went to Museo de Delores Olmedo. Pretty and relaxing, and delicious hot chocolate!

I think this may actually be a life size bronze of Diego Rivera's head?

Hehe.
