A day on the town

A couple weeks ago during our Christmas break our family took a day trip down-town Monterrey. First we took the metro (the city’s public transportation train) to a large park called “Fundidora” near the center of town. In the park we took a 45 minute boat ride down-town through the “Paseo Santa Lucia,” Monterrey’s version of San Antonio’s River Walk (although I personally think the Paseo is even nicer than the River Walk). Upon arriving at the central Plaza by boat we ate some tacos at a taco stand and then returned home via the boat and the Metro.

We wanted to share with you some photos and videos our excellent family adventure in the beautiful city of Monterrey. If you've never visited Monterrey, here's your chance.

Disembarking the metro at "La estación Fundidora"

After leaving the metro, we walked past the "Arena Monterrey," a multi-purpose arena located in Fundidora

The "Fundidora" park is one of our favorite places to visit as a family in Monterrey. Part of our walk across the park to the river.

Now we're at the head of the river, the "Paseo Santa Lucia," where we will board the boat to take the ride down-town.
