Xochimilco Trip

Xochimilco has many 'chalupas' of different names. We chose one that was appropriately names after the hot tourist spot.

The xochimilco river, a bit dirty but surrrounded by nature's beauty.

It was a nice sunny day and we enjoyed the hour long trip along the river. Nearby 'chalupas' were musicians, drinks (yes we got some beer) food and even mariachis.

In Xochimilco even mariachis are floating by, willing to take any requests. For a nominal fee they will follow behind and sing whatever traditional Mexican song you desire.

Gathering the family for a portrait picture infront of the plaze, between the new and old Mexican basilicas. Notice the pilgramage of the woman on the left. It is tradition to honor a promise by visiting the Virgen de Guadalupe, by making a pilgramages to this chapel. Most begin their way on knees from the gate entrance hundred feet away.

Here's a more modern pattern found in the stained glass of the church. The Church itself is modern as well.

VIVA MEXICO - photos

Behold the new launch of my newest addition of photoblogs. Mexphotos.blogspot.com! (mexicophotos was taken) I would have preferred to keep the naming convention but someone beat me to it.

Anyway, after procrastinating for almost two months I finally created the home for my soon to come pictures of my trips to Mexico. I wanted to start off with a unique design I hope you like it. As always please leave your comments/feedback, I always love to hear from my visitors. Enjoy your stay and come back soon.

Basilica de la Virgen De Guadalupe

I have been procrastiinating of posting pictures. The reason for this is primarily because I wanted to set up another photoblog section. I want to customize the entire album and have fun with those pictures. Below is a picture taken at the plaza of the Basilica of the Virgen De Guadalupe. Right below that will be the new background for this photoblog.
