Mexico VI - Xochimilco Nature Reserve



g





We drove to the southern end of the city looking for Xochimilco (so-chee-mill-coe) and ended up in this nice nature preserve. The air seemed a lot cleaner and the girls had fun finding caterpillars. Special thanks goes to Eric Sundahl for driving with Scott all the way from Phoenix to Mexico City - a three day ordeal full of some long painful stretches.



Is it just me, or is concrete not a very good landing for a steep slide? In the background of Alexandra's monkey picture are some really scary teeter-toters. Who remembers the green ones just like these at Conant Elementary's playground?

That is a funny slide - but the kids don't care and they're having fun

I laughed when I saw that slide. :)
