Museo del Automovil....and Hasta luego to Mexico!


The last full day in Mexico City César took Phil and I to the Museo del Automovil. I had seen it on the way home and it looked interesting and was. The collection wasn't huge but well preserved and I was pleased to find a 1950 Studebaker Commander convertible!...Big old jet Studebaker...don't carry me too far away!

We did a bit more shopping in one of the local markets and then Marie and I took everyone out for a last dinner at Los Canarios, a very good up scale restaurant with service and food second to none. It was a wonderful two weeks and full of memories thanks to the hospitality of César and Rosalia, their three children and all the aunts, uncles, and brothers that make this such a wonderful family. Gracias! gws
