We then walked to the market on sidewalks on the edge of Lincoln park. There is a lot going on! Here is a small bowl of guacamole and a small display of avocados.

Here is a common, colorful sight in the parks we’ve walked in.

We also saw exercise equipment in its own area, a dog park, and people enjoying the great park. 

We then went to explore another district, Condesa, which has a lot of art deco buildings. And more parks!

Lunch was at Fonda Fina. The food was quite good. Here’s a dish with zucchini flowers, nuts and chips.

We took a car over to the Museo Soumaya, which opened in 2011.

That’s quite a structure!

The museum is named after the late wife of the founder, Carlos Slim. Mr Slim is one of the wealthiest people in the world. This is the most–visited museum in the country. 

Here is an example of the very large collection.

After the visit, we went back to our Polanco neighborhood and walked around a bit. The streets all have trees along the sidewalks—it’s a pleasant place. And here is another balloon vendor.

Here again is the map of today’s activities.

We visited the zoo, great parks and a relatively new museum. It was a short trip, and we’ve decided we’re going to come back. Mexico City is a wonderful place.

Tomorrow—back to the airport for a flight home.
