Last day in Mexico

We went out to dinner and were entertained by Mariachi singers and dancers, it was a great night. It started with traditional dancing with dancers dressed in early Mayan costumes, then continuing on to the Spanish influence with flamenco dancing, and all the while accompanied by the Mariachi band. It even ended with cock fighting (much to our disgust). We travelled via the Metro, supposedly the biggest in the world. The city is also the largest in population and area, and the Metro works very well. It is the quick or the left behind. We were separated as Gabrielle was not quick enoughto leave the train before
the doors slammed shut and had to go to the next station. Meanwhile Nick was on the platform wondering whether to wait or head to the next station. But with trains every 3 minutes it did not take long before we were reunited.

We travelled on the tourist bus to have a final look at the city. It was a 3 hour trip and was an excellent way to see the city, it was aboard a double decker bus and we were on the top in the open air.


















Some of the great architecture, but I can´t remember what it was called















There are lots of things for children to do inmexico City. The Zoo is free, there are children´s interactive museums, a science museum and a huge Luna Park with heaps and heaps of rides. This is part of the roller coaster, called the Russian Mountain that we could see from the bus














Tonight we will be observing the day of the dead celebrations.
This is part of the procession, not quite Christmas pageant style
