Bosque de Chapultepec

Among my many happy adventures this week, I finally made my way to the Bosque de Chapultepec in Mexico City. I usually just wave at this enormous park on my way to the Anthropology Museum, but decided to spend a sunny day exploring the trails that wind around a scattering of lakes, museums, plazas, and food vendors. It's an amazing feeling to be in such a lush forest right in the heart of Mexico City. I was also pleasantly surprised to find the "Paseo de Quixote" located in the Southwest corner of the park. The trail begins with the statue I'm posting below and ends in a courtyard of smaller figurines depicting scenes from the book.
