Mexico City

Just drove there and back from here in Zihua, over the past 3 days. It was really cold overnight...down to 5....and only around 15 during the day...could be just a cold snap. Just to report on the road situation: we went there on the route towards Acapulco and had no issues other than huge traffic jam and construction near Cuernavaca which added 1 1/2 hours to our drive. We returned through Morelia. Two of the casettas (toll booths) were occupied by normalistas, and although I don't support their school, nor their "methods of fundraising", I have to say that they were polite (while they accepted our money which was the normal toll fee, which at this time has been reduced by 50% gracias al presidente) and at one booth I even had a rather pleasant discussion (non-political) with several of them. It was a pleasant drive home- also with some construction, but no resulting traffic jams, and of course that wonderful scenery never ceases to provide a lot of wonder and enjoyment.
