1Next morning, Cecy, Dad, and I visit the local street market. A knife-sharpener works his craft.
2Dad buys some fresh fruit before heading back to the house.
3Cecy and I pick up a little lunch, freshly made, before taking the bus into the city.
4Wandering around Mexico City again, Cecy and I find the Frida Karlo cultural garden near Coyoacan.
5A better view of the park.
6We ride the "Tren Ligero" (Fast/Light Train) towards our rendezvous with the family in Xochimilco.
7After a little confusion (Xochimilco is a large place with a lot of boat areas), the family gets together and rents a boat for an hour or two. Here we are purchasing some roasted ears of corn-on-a-stick.
8Dad and Mom enjoying the food and the ride.
9"Viva Lupita", the name of the boat we rented.
10Tony, Dad, and Mom relax as the poleman navigates the boat along.
11A view of some of the other boats on the river.
12At the end of the ride, we return to the boat area to disembark.
