This blog was created by me, a lover of Mexico, to share interesting facts about Mexico as I travel there, or as I struggle to learn the language, or as I am amazed by the food, the culture or the art.

Protest
The President came to visit today. There were thousands of troops, federal, state and municipal in the Centro blocking traffic. While that was going on, protesters damaged cement walls in the Zócalo and started a truck on fire. No police were there.
Protesting here too. No fires so far. Teachers and other state workers are protesting our new governor's proposed budget cuts. School was even cancelled today because there were going to be so many teachers gone protesting.
