We took the bus to the zoo this morning, with a quick pitstop by a playground.
Once at the zoo, we visited two sections of the enormous property (tropical and temperate). Our favorite animals included: pandas, white tigers, primates, lemurs, hyenas, jaguars, leopards, and humans!
We had a picnic lunch in the park and then went to see the Voladores, the flying men.
We planned to take the bus to the chocolate museum, but found out that it was out of service due to some sort of demonstration. We walked to the metro and got into the women and children only section – a part of most of their buses and metros.
We walked from the metro through the pleasant Roma neighbourhood all the way to the chocolate museum. We got to taste cocoa beans, draw in cocoa powder, smell different scents and see beautiful and detailed chocolate sculptures. We learned how chocolate was made and that cocoa beans were used as currency by prehispanic people. Then we visited the shop and the cafe, where we had hot chocolate, coffee, brownies and chocolate tamales!
We made it back before the rain, relaxed a bit at Ticalli before leaving for dinner: Shake Shack and then gelato (again!). Once back, we played some card games including Cheat, where Elizabeth ended up with the entire deck.
