On our way to the canals of Xochimilco where we took a ride in one of the beautiful trajineras (wooden boats), we strolled through the main square where these three Mexicans were sitting on a bench watching the world go by. Like everywhere in Mexico City so far, everyone was very friendly and they were happy for me to take this shot.

Thanks Sophie! People photos are my favorite ones, but often I am too shy to ask for permission to take someone's picture. That time in Xochimilco, I was brave enough to ask and I am glad I did :)

Nice shot - I like the bright cowboy shirt. Reminds me of the early Tres Hombres ZZ Top album.

I didn't know that ZZ Top had an album called 'Tres Hombres'! That photo should've been on the cover of the record then ;-)
