A literary and photographic diary of a journey through life in Mexico City and the surrounding states in the 21st century. Sampling tacos, chilling on beaches, strolling through dusty colonial towns, climbing up ancient pyramids, wandering through museums, watching death defying acts of bravery, and sometimes stupidity, are all in a day's work. That and teaching a diverse mix of students the art of English, a language so complex that it fits in well with everything else here. This is Mexico. As they say.
