Picture number 30 of 43 on your Touribus gallery is a Monument called Hemiciclo a Juarez, a monument dedicated to Benito Juarez. Benito Juárez was the first full-blooded indigenous national to serve as President of Mexico. For resisting the French occupation, overthrowing the Empire, and restoring the Republic, as well as for his efforts to modernize the country, Juárez is often regarded as Mexico's greatest and most beloved leader. Congrats on the blog. Rolando. PS. I am definitely doing the cantina-crawl in December. I'm from Monterrey so it's really been a while since I last visited Mexico City.

I read every post in the archives! What fun! I lived in México for several years, as a younger person, and continue to spend time there every year. Your observations resonate right on my heart/funny bone--without fail. Too bad you'll be leaving there someday. I would love to keep living there vicariously through you.

At the time there was a lack of blogs about what I was going through. Anyway, I like to live vicariously through you now. I would like to see your take on the many uses of pig skin - chicharon, cueritos and footballs. A post complete with your wonderful photos, of course! I am always excited when you have a new post.
