#10 Back to Mexico City

After another great breakfast at the Quinta Rivera hotel we boarded a bus back to Mexico City. Saturday was Nan Carmack's 40th birthday (sorry Nan) and "Happy Birthday" was sung with great gusto to start her day off.

The bus was much larger and we all had more room for sleep, reading and talking. The trip was scenic passing from the mountains to the plains of Mexico. We arrived in Mexico City just before noon. Our accommodations were back at the Tulip Ritz in central Mexico City.

Everyone wandered off in a different direction for shopping, museums or touring. Mexico City is certainly a beautiful city with many parks, churches, museums and statues. Lots of sales were made based on the amount of bags being brought back in to our hotel. Items included clothing, jewelry, blankets, purses and gifts for loved ones.

Dinner was followed by a great party surrounding the hotel bar. Final pictures were taken, addresses exchanged and hugs all around. Here are the official group photos:







Early Sunday morning we were transported by taxi through a mainly empty Mexico City streets (at breakneck speeds, of course). No troubles at the airport and all arrived safe and sound back in the USA.
We'll post some recollections later this week.
