We began our day in a van with our good friend Jose Luis (our tour guide from the pyramids ) whose wife was apparently very happy to hear that Trudeau and his wife have separated.
We went to Xochimilco, where we got on a very colourful wooden boat and were poled through the canals. We enjoyed the sights, we’re serenaded by a mariachi band and Audrey was awarded her Canada Cord (which included axolotl stickers, s’mores earrings and two Ranger patches).
We looked at the market for a little bit, then got in the van to go to the Frida Kahlo museum (the Casa Azul) in the beautiful Coyoacan neighbourhood. The museum was the house where she was born and lived for most of her life. We learned about her life, her artwork and saw an interesting exhibit about her clothing. Once we were finished at the museum, we went and had tostadas for lunch at a food counter in the market around the corner. We went (successfully) shopping at a few other markets in the area.
After being dropped off back at Ticalli, we relaxed for a bit before rushing to a clothing store where Naomi wanted to go to buy a skirt. We were all very hungry, so we went to a restaurant called Le Pain Quotidien for wraps, pancakes and sandwiches. Of course, we had to finish the evening at our favourite gelato place!
