We spent Scott's birthday walking through the zoo and markets at Chapultepec Park. I have to say the Phill & Ted stroller we brought here has been a life safer. It is narrow for managing crowds, has jogging stroller tires for the uneven sidewalks, and a swivel wheel for easy one-handed manuevering. We have heard it called "Padrisimo" here when people realize there is a little "guerito" hiding in the back. Thank you Brenda Petty for strongly reccomending this stroller :) it has been worth every penny!
Face painting is a big deal at Chupultepec park and the girls enjoyed having little designs painted on their faces. They were at first disappointed that I wouldn't get one of the 30 peso designs (completly covering every inch of their face) and we opted for something simpler. It was a good thing - we had to use some heavy duty soap to wash this stuff off. I guess indulging kids is part of Mexican culture and the girls enjoyed buying cotten candy, papas, and some junky toys.
We finished the day with some delicious Tacos al Pastor... I need to learn how to recreate these flavors at home. I would reccomend a trip to Mexico City just to eat some real tacos like these... by the way a plate like this costs about $2.50.

Why is it that the US has not been able to duplicate the concept of meat grilled on a spit? I'm in search of a restaurant here that sells tacos al pastor...no luck so far.
Lara, you are so right. Even in Houston they couldn't duplicate it. How about when we get back we open a restaurant w/ real pastor tacos with pina and all. There is a specific spice they use on these and I need to track it down. If you look closely at my blog you'll see me getting fatter. The food is so good my llanta won't stop growing!
Suz--you look great. Your homework is to get a recipe for those tacos--wow they look great.
