Mexico!

Well we made it safely here on Tuesday night. THe flights were fairly painless. Cedar was pretty good all-in-all and we were greeted at the airport by a private car and driver eric hired for the workshop. Such luxuries I am un-accustomed to! Yesterday we went to the zoo at Chapultepec Park (like Central Park in NYC). Cedar loved it and we were pretty impressed too. It was nicer than Hogle Zoo in many ways and it was gratis (free). Then we rode the metro (a very warm experience) to the Historic Center of the city. We had some snacks went to a shop or two and then went to our favorite Mexico City restaurant, Cafe Popular and I enjoyed some tamales oaxacano (tamales cooked with mole sauce in banana leaves) Yummy. Today Eric is out photographing the Mexico City police. Cedar and I hooked up with our new taxi man, Carlos (a very kind, safe radio taxi driver) and went to the anthropology museum. Cedar loved the lifesize models of indigenous homes and ceremonies. He also loved the pond in the courtyard with frogs, coi and tons of turtles. Well, the child is anxious. Gotta go.
