We head southwest towards Xochimilco. This was a long ride through traffic. On the way our tour guide fell a sleep in the van. While he snored, we had a good laugh at this with our Puerto Rican friends.
We got of the van and walked our way through various merchants and ultimately ended up in front of several brightly colored boats. There were some many you could nearly walk across the entire waterway without getting wet. On our way to our boat Rebecca received a corsage. Once in our boat, we got beers for a vendor and began our journey in the water.
Along with the boats selling beer and cooking food, we saw boats with mariachi bands on them. They would tie up to your boat and, for some pesos, sing songs to your party. One of our fellow travelers bought a couple songs, and convinced the band to let him sing. He hopped over to there boat and sang to his wife. It was unexpected and great.
The colorful boats were everywhere. So I guess it was only a matter of time before a collision happen. Our boat smashed into another really hard. At the time we were facing our guide and didn’t see the impending danger. Rebecca save her beer, I caught the camera, but my beer hit the deck and on the way down, covered Rebecca’s leg. Oops.
With the crash behind us we returned to land. We did so shopping and returned to the van. Xochimilco was a marvelous place. Many Mexicans go there to spend time with the family.

sounds like you needed a marine surveyor to investigate the boat collision. Maybe Marine Safety Consultants should send us down!
I believe Bex learned the correct priorities at Syracuse...always save your drink!
