Saturday was a big walking day for us. According to my watch we walked more than ten miles!
We started out by walking through Chapultepec park to Chapultepec Castle. Along the way we saw an area of the park that is reserved for people over 60. They had a senior center with lots of activities (everything from yoga to pickle ball, to English classes to dominos) and nice wide walking paths. Of course we got to go in!
Castillo de Chapultepec and Historical Museum overlook Chapultepec Park. The castle was built for Spanish royalty and has been used as a military college and a presidential residence.
After we were done with our visit to the castle we walked back to the area of our hotel for lunch. But first, we stopped at the Audiorama. It is built around a small cave at the base of the Castle hill. It was a peaceful garden with books to read and music playing.
Also on the way to lunch we walked through the botanical garden.
After napping at the hotel we walked back to Chapultepec Castle to see the Ballet Folklórico. They had set up chairs around a stage on the terrace. It was a beautiful night and it was a great show.
