Went kayaking through the huge series of canals way in the south of Mexico City.

The people here are so resourceful. The built all this arable land on shallow lakes with attrition. No roads go out here and they move everything around by gondola and push pole. They make their own houses, land (literally) and a lot of their own equipment.

So this entire (large) community is functioning out there with no police or government regulations. Just trade-oriented cooperation and hard work. It was so fucking cool to see and completely unexpected.

Awesome! Looks like Chinampas- which go back to the Aztec days (or probably before)

I haven’t heard of it but will look into them. Mexico has a crazy deep history.
