Christmas at the Rocka . . . I mean Zocalo

The mayor of Mexico City put an ice skating rink in the Zocalo for the first time ever for the holiday season. It is free to go skating but you have to arrive very early in the day to receive a time slot in which you are allowed to be on the ice. We found this out the hard way and were not able to skate. I guess this is expected in a city of 22 million.
But just walking around the Zocalo was enjoyable. The roads downtown were closed and the streets were packed with people just enjoying the season. The Zocalo is definitely in the Christmas spirit!
