... traffic jam and going nowhere. I would have fallen asleep except other boats kept crashing into the side of ours. On the train on the way home a local woman started chatting to me. After a while she invited me round for tea the next day. The locals are so friendly and I think it´s partly because there don´t seem to be very many tourists - everywhere I went I seemed to be the only gringo. Unfortunately I had to turn down the offer of tea as were leaving town the next morning.<br><br>So ...

... on our outdoor stage at Xochitla. Then we headed to a local high school (Preparatoria #27) to perform our show. We were greeted by the school's marching band!

... dealing with Americans and being a typical tourist. We got to see some of the neighbourhoods of the city alot better. Condesa and Zona Rosa neighbourhoods would not be out of place in Europe with cafes, restuarants, boutique shops and massive homes.

We even tried to print the booking confirmation at the concierge but for some reason their printer was not working, anyway eventually they said that they would check us in and sort the booking out with RCI later. We queried why our room had not got a kitchen as we had requested in our booking, we ...
