Our United flight arrived early into Mexico City. We were doing great till Ralph and Mary Ann got separated going through Customs. Twenty minutes later we were reunited and finally headed off to our hotel by Taxi.
Ralph, Mary Ann and Richard in the TaxiMexico City is the largest city in the world and we probably saw most of those people on the highway today. It took an hour to get to the Hotel in downtown Mexico City. I estimate it was near 15 miles from the airport.
We are staying the Tulip Ritz hotel. It is Holiday Inn standard though a bit dated. We met the team from Charlotte, NC that is joining us building homes in Santiago. We had a joint session of introduction led by Tonya from the Mexican Habitat.
Dinner at the hotel consisted of a pasta appitizer, beef steak with mashed potatoes and cooked vegitables. We had fruit for dessert. Drinks were lemonade and beer.
After dinner Richard, Ralph and Nick took a tour around the block of the hotel. We visited a beautiful church where a Saturday night wedding was being performed. We also saw 3 McDonalds, a KFC and of course a Pizza Hut. A main square area was very crowded with an exhibition of some kind going on and an Indian group doing a native dance. The weather was perfect (70 degrees) and made for a pleasant afternoon trip. Police were everywhere and we felt very safe.
We will go to the local Episcopal Church for Sunday service then head to our work home in Actopan in the early afternoon.
