Dan Wilson’s Diary entry Monday 15th We‘ve just spent a week in Mexico! We spent two days in Mexico City before going to the beach. The first day we went to the Papalote children’s museum. It’s a hands-on museum and you can do a look of cool things like technological experiments. We saw a film there about the Big Bang – you know about the beginning of the universe. After that we went to Chapultepec Park which is really close. There’s a lake there. Dad took us rowing on the lake. There’s a zoo there, too but we didn’t have time to visit. We did go on the Big Dipper. It’s called the Montaña Rusa there. The next day we went to a place on the outskirts of the city called Tio Pepe’s farm. You learn about farming there and there’s a petting farm with baby chicks and little lambs. We made our own lunch. We made pizzas and they tasted really good. On the night of the 2nd we went to Xochimilco. Every year they have a celebration for the Day of the Dead on the canals there. Xochimilco is beautiful - full of trees and flowers
