i slept..woo hoo....
we walked just as far today, but headed to the Bosque de Chapultepec (city park), which is miles across and full of museums, a zoo, great walks and much much more. bosque de chapultepec

 on the way we stopped at a local market and picked up some fruit..must learn the words for those.. keep on giving myself 20 words a day... not everyone speak english...and i know my lessons arent for another few weeks.

on our way we come across a squirrel who shows matt how to pee standing up and the crazy traffic in mexico!  green does not mean go, neither does red, and drive in which ever lane you want.  as a pedestrian, you take your chances, and generally cross when the locals do!  ignore all lights!

our first stop is the zoo where we are reminded why we never come to these things as the enclosures are so small.  they look demented. cheetah

we lounge about after another taco..not sure if i am liking this food.  think its the taste of the corn they use..or the oil they fry them in...everything is fried...cant be good... may lose a tad weight in mexico... we head into the park
