Off to Mexico City

Off to Mexico

Eileen invited me to come to Mexico with her friend Barb. As we were discussing the trip, we agreed to fly into Mexico City, spend three full days in Mexico City, and then take the bus to San Miguel de Allende for a week, flying back from Mexico City.

On Tuesday, I got up at 3 AM to catch a very early bus to the airport. The flight from Denver to Salt Lake City was on time and routine, as was the flight from Salt Lake to Mexico City. Delta flies into the relatively new Terminal 2, the first time that I had used that terminal. I then took their monorail from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1, a relatively long trip.

I met Eileen and Barb in the lobby of the Mariott hotel, attached to Terminal 1. They had a routine flight from Phoenix. We took a hotel taxi to our hotel downtown, the Hotel Catedral.

The Zocolo, the main central square, was full of tents and tarps, as the teachers are demonstrating against the government, apparently because the government wants to test teachers, including teachers who have been teaching for a while.

After dinner at the rooftop restaurant overlooking the Zocolo, we called it a day.
