Mexcity City Day 4: The Fastest Weekend Of My Life
Because we had stayed out so late the previous night, Mel and I both
needed some extra sleep. I had to be out of my hotel around 1PM, which
is when Mel picked me up. Sadly, I only had 2 hours before I needed to
be at the airport. We quickly drove to Xochimilco, which is an area of the city that is known for its extended series of canals that are the remains of the ancient Lago Xochimilco, which was a lake.
The colorful boats in the canals.
One of the entrances to the canals was closed, causing serious traffic. So, we were unable to take an actual boat ride, however I am happy that I was at least able to get a quick glimpse at the canals and the colorful boats where you can dine while you float along the water. Believe it or not I even saw a boat with my name!
As we headed to the airport I invited Mel to join me on my next trip 2 weeks later to
Ahhh,
the perils of traveling. I do not think I have ever been on a trip
where I have been able to do and see everything that I had wanted to.
This was especially the case in
Those boats look really cool! I am coming to terms with the fact that I can't see everything I want to see when I travel. I think it's hard for us travelers because we feel the urgency of living life to the fullest. But Mexico is so close, I am sure you'll be back!

Agreed. Doing/seeing everything that you've ever wanted to do on a trip is an impossibility.
My husband and I really enjoyed our travels a whole lot more once we came to terms with that and stopped trying to fit EVERYTHING in.
PS. Even though I've previously never had any desire to visit Mexico City your posts have kind of made me want to!

You always find a good word to say, even when there is some serious adversities going on.
