Happy Halloween, Loyal Reader!
Speaking of things that are orange, here I am, sporting a pumpkin-colored tee, an unkempt beard, and a cheek-to-cheek smile. This was a great, gloriously sunny day. Where was I?

The monument in the photo below was originally meant to be a government palace, but construction plans were altered literally as the foundation was being poured. Today it features an underground museum and a top-floor observation deck, while the surrounding plaza exists as a popular gathering place for buskers, protesters, college students, and campaigning politicians.

I *think* this one will be fairly easy to guess. Likewise, I *think* the leggy sculpture in the pic (no, not me, but thanks for the compliment) is no longer at this location.

Another oldie from my travel photo archives. I consider this easy-to-moderate in guess-a-bility. 🙂
Where was I when this pic was taken?

Another golden oldie. Where on Earth am I?!?!

I received feedback that these photo-guessing contests are too difficult. Fair enough. Here, I think, is an easier one. Where am I?
A Sunday at Xochimilco
Greetings, Loyal Reader. I received several offline comments about my last post, Interview with a Mexican. I want to thank you for your kind words. I am unsure if any subsequent postings will be on par with that one, but alas, the show must go on.
Last weekend, I wanted to stretch my legs and take advantage of unseasonably warm temps. I sought to revisit the canals and “floating gardens” of Xochimilco, first visited on my inaugural trip to Mexico City in November, 2002. The canals of Xochimilco – the silty remnants of the lake upon which Mexico City was built – sprawl for dozens of kilometers through the city’s southwest. As such, there are several options for exploring.

Where am I in the pic below? “In the middle” and “in the center” are not valid answers, jajajajaja. (That is how Latinos spell “hahahahaha.”) 🙂
Thanks for guessing.

(Hint: the backdrop – though deliberately obscured here – has been featured in countless music videos.)
