Paddy and I overlooking the Zocalo |
It seems fitting to me to begin with my recent Mexican visit. My good friend, Paddy asked me if I'd be interested, and I jumped at the chance. We signed up with a group, Road Scholar, which adds educational elements to “just” being a tourist. The trip focused on the history, arts and the culture of CDMX (Mexico City).
Our rather modern hotel, owned by a Spanish hotel chain, was central located in the Historic District. And boy was it historic! My very limited history education of over fifty years ago certainly did not include much Mexican history. Once again, I am reminded of how insular many of us from the US are when it comes to other cultures. Another reason travel is so good!
