Saturday the choir gave a concert at Casa del Lago (Lakehouse) in Chapultepec Park. The hall we performed in was pretty -- though a bit small (and hot!) for the turnout.
It was a cool moment singing Mi Ciudad (My City), a song written about Mexico City. There's a line that says "....es un bosque de espejos que cuida un castillo" ("It's a forest of mirrors that guards a castle"), referring to Chapultepec Park and the Chapultepec Castle. The song has been a staple in the choir's repertoire (at least since I've joined) -- but it was a first for me to sing it while in Chapultepec Park, within view of the castle!

In Chapultepec we visited the Chapultepec Castle. (Click here for previous blog post about Chapultepec Castle).
Video I took of the Voladores de Papántla (note-- on the new Beccainthedf Youtube Channel)
We also visited the Anthropology Museum (a first for me).
We had lunch at Havanna -- a chain from Buenos Aires that sells alfajores!!
