We rode on a trajnera

Which is a boat that’s pushed along the canal with a stick instead of an oar

It had a pinata in the front

They use these things to dredge the canals and put the mud in the chinampas, which are squares of mud held together by reeds

Which you can build farms on, in the middle of the lake

At the farm they made us lunch

From the food grown on the chinampa

Which was very green

Except the parts that were yellow

Or purple

This is a weird cauliflower

They also had a lot of lettuce

Kerri played with a ball and cup game. Unsuccessfully.

And we wore sombreros

Because Kerri said we had to.
