The Beans of Life - Frijoles De Vida

so some know and some don't know that mexico city was originally built on a lake.  Here today, there is little water in mexico city; however, there still is a small portion called xochimilco. This lush rural area of the city is home to a wide variety of canals that irrigate the man-made landscape of vegetation. Here they are able to grow vegetables year around as well as provide a fun area for a little R and R. We sat in a boat for a couple hours being pushed around by our host, diego, and being serenaded by a couple passing marachi boats and fed by a kitchen boat that served up some spicy tacos and enchiladas for us! it was so relaxing. Craig, our director here, wanted to get to know us better as well as hang out a bit so Xochimilco was the place to go.
