In the Fourth Section

As I mentioned in my last post, a fourth section is being added to Chapultepec Park.  Last weekend when Alejandro and I rode on the new line of the "cablebus", we got off at the end of the line and took a walk through the fourth section.

It is still very much under construction, a work in progress.  The "cablebus" is overhead.

We passed under the elevated tracks of the still unfinished passenger train from Mexico City to Toluca that I mentioned in the last post.

The one attraction that is open to the public is the "Cineteca Nacional", an institution dedicated to the restoration, conservation and exhibition of motion pictures from Mexico and the rest of the world.  Even though it is open and movies are being shown, the building is not finished.  It is so typical of the administration to open projects before they are really completed so that they can boast of their achievements.

The poster listed movies that were being presented that weekend.  There were films from France, the United States, and the UK, among others.

A short walk away, there was an outdoor theater where they were showing short films produced at a children's workshop at the "cineteca".

Someday, the fourth section of Chapultepec Park might be worth visiting, but as of now, don't waste your time.
