Christmas poinsettias -- Mexican style

Friday night, December 18th, we walked through Coyoacan, a charming area with a laid-back atmosphere. We wandered through Jardin Centenario at the centre of old Coyoacan. For those more familiar with poinsettias sitting indoors during the Christmas season, here are poinsettias Mexican style--outside and alive. It's the first time I actually liked poinsettias!

After wandering through the park we headed to dinner at a local restaurant recommended by Blayne's neighbour Hugo. It was packed with groups celebrating Christmas, including a group of women in a private room we heard chanting what sounded like cheerleader songs. Great food--a perfect beginning to an escape from icy Ottawa.
