Team Mexico Day 3: Xochimilco

To celebrate the victory of organized labor over tha' MAN, we decided to go float around in some canals and drink beer before noon...just like the real, union guys do (at least the ones I used to see with 40's of Ol' E in front of 7-11 back in Seattle)! Xochimilco is a UNESCO world heritage site that exemplifies the traditional means of transportation throughout the pre-columbian canal system Mexico City. That being said, today it is pretty much a fiesta hot-spot with food, drinks and mariachis!

The boats!

I'm on a boat!

Floating mariachis! Does it get any better?

Naturally, we had a stowaway on board that presented us with a "shopportunity" about 20 minutes into the cruise.

I like it soooo much, I work here now!

A peaceful section of canal.

This was actually a normal sized beer, but it appears to have grown in this picture!

Cactus really can grow anywhere...even in a beer can!

The S.S. Xochimilco!
