So here we are in Mexico, Mexico.
It is fabulous, wonderful, and very lovely indeed.
The people are very similar to Ticos; less show-off and extroverted perhaps, and somewhat less coquettish, but so very friendly, helpful, kind to strangers.
We are staying right in the middle of the Historic Centre, which is very beautiful, full of gorgeous old buildings. Many of them are sinking, slowly slowly, in this enormous city built on a swamp.
we have travelled on about every conceivable means of transport; the metro, ‘peseras’ – the little buses, ‘camiones’ bug buses, taxis, by foot, and by canoe!
the food is fabulous. not hot at all, as we expected – well, at least the chile dishes that we’ve had – including mango and chile icecream – have been very mild and pleasant.
we’ve seen churches and markets, the pyramids of Teotihuacan, and the floating gardens of Xochimilco, and many many many people.
photos to follow.!
