Dancing in the Park

On Saturday we were searching for a traditional Mexican arts and crafts market. The one we found wasn't exactly what we were looking for, but it was quite a happening place. There were dozens of areas in the park where there was music (some live) and dancing. All sorts of dancing from salsa to the waltz. I made a little video using my iphone, play below. It amazes us the amount of entertainment people find in large public gatherings and at no cost. On Sunday, they close a lot of the streets for people to ride their bikes. They even had a fitness instructor lead an exercise class for dozens of people on the street (actually one of the most important avenues in Mexico City). This part of the culture allows all people, regardless of class or income, to co-exist and share the day.
