In Mexico City

So I’m here! I can’t believe the size of this place. I started to keep track of how long we flew over continuously enhabited areas before we landed, but I completely lost track. This is a _big_ city.

I’m in a hotel that is 2 blocks away from the Embassy where I will be working so it will be an easy walk in the morning. There is a market a block away, so water will be easy to get, etc. More fast food than you can shake a stick at is here, too. All the usual suspects.

The city is on a high plateau, akin to Denver and Isfahan, so the air is a little thin. I’m walking around, but taking it slow and soaking up the Zona Rosa. Tomorrow I’ll try to get to the pyramids or Zocolo or something like that so I can say I saw a sight.
