Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures tourists enjoying a boat trip down a river in Mexico City. A couple poses under an arched structure before boarding, the woman in a light dress with a red corsage and the man in a white shirt. The scene shifts to gondola-style boats gliding across calm water, with gondoliers in hats and red shirts propelling them with long poles. The footage features the characteristic color shifts and grain of Super 8 film, evoking a nostalgic 1960s vacation memory.
