Once again, Juan Trigo entertained our driver with his name. Everyone here responds like it is the funniest thing they have heard. John is ready to run for El Presidente. He thinks he will win; once his Spanish improves.
The plan was to visit the Anthropological Museum and the Chapultepec Castle. We only made the first. It is one of the great museums of the world and cannot be seen in one day. And, our feet needed to rest before a grand excursion early tomorrow morning.
Many of the explanation signs are only in Spanish. We learned quickly how to use the camera feature of Google Translate. The next three photos show how amazing the feature works.
