We are going to spend a couple days in Mexico City, and I am a little concerned about thermal inversions and what that does for pollution. But, I am really excited to see sites such as Teotihuacan and Templo Mayor and the art museums and the Museo Nacional de Anthropologia, which is one of the best of its kind in the world. (I just picked up the Lonely Planet guide to Mexico City - full of interesting information) San Miguel looks pretty cool-it's a little arts community in the Mexican Highlands, lots of expatriate bohemian types from Europe and America. Plus hot springs. plus, I'm going to be in birdwatcher heaven - a whole new country! more as it develops. |

question for people who live in the states nearest Mexico: do you ever go to mexico? a lot? why or why not? Is it a place to go just on a whim, or is it a big deal? What's it like? I'm asking because we just got King of the Hill Season 1 on dvd (woo-hoo!) and there's an episode about Bobby's class going on a field trip to mexico, and it seems to be a big deal for the kids. So i wondered why it was such a big deal, since they live in Texas and could go to mexico anytime they wanted.......? |
deal. it's like that in a sense, which is to say that it's fun to go somewhere else, even if it's not terribly different from where you are. i could see mexico as being even cooler though because it's looked at as a place with different rules. and frogs made into purses. |
Texas be big. BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG. It takes as longer to drive from El Paso to Texarkana than it does to go from Texarkana to Chicago. (812 miles vs. 791 miles) So, we may be attached to Mexico by a border, but that border is far away from us here in the north. |
and to think i never considered driving to texas from chicago, and it was only a state-length away. |
|
i've been to mexico, but not since i've lived in texas. i've not been south of san antonio nor north of dalls. |
it would be about a 3 hour + drive. don't know why, other than easily overcome irrationale about language, logistics and such. id almost rather plant a trip to baja, via plane, rent a condo for a week than take a trip to TJ and get ripped a new asshole with tourist trap shit. |

It looked like that yesterday. It will look like that tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day and the next day. On top of 95 degree heat. And thats in the basin. In the valleys its hitting the 105 mark. |
