México December Trip #1
From SFO via cloudy skies to México City
Facing the usual after a trip: I’ve gathered too much material, including some 800 photos/videos. This trip, as with so many forays in México, yielded “an embarrassment of riches.”
México is doing so many things right now. Liberal government. Good health care (my bill for walk-in doctor consult on slightly-infected cut and prescription antibotic: 75 cents.
State universities are free. As are they in Germany and probably a lot of other countries. Contrast with the millions of young Americans with crippling high-interest student loans.
Indigenous people are thriving. They didn’t get wiped out like they did in continental USA. Schools in one area we visited, have a day a week where students wear traditional clothing and speak Nahautl. It’s great seeing these strong faces everywhere.
And the people of México in general!
I don’t have time to write right now, so I’m just gonna throw up some photos…
SFO airport is so great right now. I mean, this was a good breakfast, like, say, you’d get at Bette’s Diner in Berkeley. Super fast wi-fi, plenty of plugs available for charging. One person told me his favorite sushi restaurant is at SFO.
Powering over the Peninsula; I believe this is Foster City:
Landing in México City:
Just an FYI, a “liberal government” now in Mexico is not necessarily a good thing as you say.
Due to Catholicism’s influence and the general “conservative” ways of the people outside of the major metro areas of Mexico, they don’t go for the “ modern liberal ways”. And especially in the indigenous peoples communities of Mexico. They are much more on the “conservative” side of things.
Pretty clear with decent air in CDMX.
