When we were in Xochimilco we came across these strange dolls at the side of the river. We asked the gondoleer what the significance of the dolls were. He explained to us that they were indwelt by evil spirits and they were to ward off other evil spirits. We have seen many strange sites since we have been in Mexico, but this was quite eerie, and highlighted to us the mixed nature of beliefs that some of the Mexican people have, and our constant need to reach these people for Christ.
