Blogging on Mexico City.

I'm due to depart at dawn tomorrow on a field trip to Mexico City which should generate plenty of fodder for this blog. It has already started with a comment by a new teacher who was surprised I was going since he'd been told by someone not to visit Mexico City! That's like going to the United States without seeing New York City, or Egypt and passing up Cairo, or Peru and avoiding Lima and the list goes on. All big cities are dangerous, polluted and you must have your wits about you, but to dismiss it outright is just a shame since these hot spots of the world have so much to offer. The history, culture and archetecture of Mexico City is awe inspiring, exciting and supremely educational. The museum of Anthropology knows no rival and there are few cities as bustling, as magnificent and exciting as a first trip to the Districto Federal. I'm all for it but I could be slightly prejudiced since my husband hails from D.F. and almost all his family lives there, therefore I get the "insiders" point of view. If you can go with someone "in the know" it's certainly preferable and there are plenty of precautions to be taken. Therefore, join me on our trip and I'll do my best to give you the goods as they unfold in case you want to plan a trip for the future. Vamanos!
