when i took subway from zocalo to xochimilco the service went only as far as tasquena.there i had to get off as it was last stop and then transfer to small bus that took me on to xochimilco...number 36 i believe was the route i took if i remember correctly.


how long and how much is the ride from Centro to Xochimilco / floating gardens?
And how long and how much does it take to get to Teotihuacan?
Thanks,
Tak

well hello there "TAKKIE" (;P)
the ride? i dunno more than 30 minutes? less than an hour, thats for sure. the ride was 40 cents round trip (subway) and 80 cents round trip (bus) so a big 1 dollar & 20 cents. oh but i did not go to the floating gardens so i cant tell you about that place. however i did visit the museo dolores olmedo there and can tell you about that if interested. but also on another thread, lol.

munecabava, you went to Xochimilco, but you did not see the floating gardens? what's u with that?
but ok, you visited to the Dolores Olmedo Museum, that gets you off of the hook

let me tell you if i was not traveling alone i probably would have went. seems it is a place to go more with a group imo. like i wouldnt go to an amusement park by myself kinda thing. museums and other things, no problem-- but i didnt think i would have a good time alone so i just didnt bother with it...bet it is nice though, there is some man that lives out there i have heard and he has dolls hanging from all of the trees, that would have been interesting to see i suppose. oh well, maybe next time! (hahaha ;P)

I know about the guy hanging dolls (munecas) from trees. I heard him say over a TV interview that he was trying to hung up a ragging doll, you know, an angried doll (lolz!)

I believe "muneca brava" is Spanish for "angered doll"
Dood, I cannot imagine my Southern friend hanging down on a rope like a Mexican piñata (although I have to confess that it would be hillarious to see her hanging down from a tree, but only for LESS THAN A SECOND, I should clarify) XOXO!
