We're planning a gathering again, this time for Xochimilco.
Saturday, Jan. 22nd meet up at noon at Embarcadero Nativitas. We usually meet at the north end, where the street Galeana ends at the embarcadero parking lot.
We launch at 12:30 so if you're late, we're gone already. Feel free to PM me for better directions or my cell number.
There are some new people in town to welcome and one veteran teacher (and forum poster) heading home across the pond. This will be his last hurrah and as he has some books to hand out, we may as well also make it a book swap as we've done before. |
Count me in. |
Enigma, you'll have to fill me in on all the details  |

Here's the google maps link to the spot we usually meet at in Xochimilco.

Not sure if that takes you down as far as street view, but if you zoom in you can see a sign that says Mi Mercado. That's the spot. |

Good mapping, that's the spot all right. Let me just add that we don't stand around in the middle of the parking lot to wait; if you're among the first ones there, go to the area around the "Mi Mercado" sign, there are benches or planters to sit on. |

Good thing you checked in here...looks like a no-go today as quite a few others called to say they couldn't come either.
Event canceled.
Let's try again another weekend? Xochimilico gatherings we do about twice a year. Any proposals for a good weekend or date to try one again? The Mexile is in Mexico another 4 weeks and he still has all those books to swap. |

| So, when are we up for trying this again? I'd be happy to see you all down here in my part of the city. |
