Day 47: Navidad Season Begins





After Zochimilco, on our way home, we saw what looked like parade floats on Reforma. Our tour guide told us there was a Coca-Cola Christmas parade! We decided to eat at a Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant along Reforma. Since Luc's never been to Benihana, this was the closest we could get. It was a place where we have our Japanese food prepared by a chef right at our table on a flat grill. By the time we were done with our lunch/dinner the parade would be starting. People were already starting to line up near the barricades set up along Reforma. So we camped out til it got dark and the parade was ready to do. Luc gets very fidgety and it was hard for him to stay in 1 place for so long. But we made it and the parade was a great start to a Mexican holiday season! My fave was the faux confetti/snow that shot out of the floats. You gotta remember that these revelers never see snow. Very Edward Scissorhands-esque! Feliz Navidad!
