On Sundays we ride our bikes through the city to Chapultepec Park because the streets are closed to cars. Without fail, we find something of surprising interest. Today it was the Jardín de la Tercera Edad - a part of the park set aside for senior citizens - with interesting sculptures and danzón (beautiful, romantic, danceable music). We, of course, were on our bikes so an official very courteously told us that bike riding wasn't allowed here. He joked, "This part of the park is full of viejitos (oldsters) and there's no repair shop in case of collision." When I told him we would return sans bikes next weekend he was so very gentlemanly shocked that we qualified for admission that I think we'll take him up on his offer to give us dance lessons!
We spent the rest of the afternoon in the Museo de Arte Popular, which is less than a block from our apartment. Hope you enjoy the photos of both places.
