The City In The Lake

Did you know that when Cortez arrived in Tenochtitlan, the Aztec (ne Mexica) capital, it was a city built on islands in a lake?  With over 20 million people living there now, there's certainly no lake to be seen anymore!  There remains, however, a tiny area of Aztec/Mexica canals and artificial islands.

Will today be the day I finally visit Xochimilco, a World Heritage Site?
