Tomorrow is my last full day in DF. Yesterday my last trip to Xochimilco. The Diorama setting on the Art Scene dial worked well, I thought. The food and drink did not. For me, anyway.

The Other Xochimilco
Mentioning the name Xochimilco to someone usually conjures up images of green canals, colourful gondolas, mariachis, flowers and beer. Especially, perhaps beer. But the canals main purpose is the production of planty stuff. Legal plant stuff, mind you. This is Mexico City, not a border town.

Video quality as ever is noticeably better when you hit the HD button. Production … Continue reading Tequesquitengo and Xochicalco
