I like all your Pics. I did climb one of the old Aztec reminders above Mexico City years ago; saw the May Day parade in Mexico city once too. I drove all the way down from and returned to Wichita, Ks. It was quite a drive and I did enjoy all the small towns. I drove only in the day and I had people with me who were fluent in Spanish. A imigrant from the Mexico tells me there once were a lot more trees in central Mexico.
I've looked thru most of the pic's in this thread and I must say, Mexico is certainly a beautiful country. I love the vastness of color. The archecture is gorgeous in both large and small towns. The water is a rich green/blue color. The countryside is just fabulous looking. And the people look happy.
What I don't understand is.........it looks as tho' the cities are thriving and there's plenty of work, so why are people fleeing to the US for jobs? If I lived there I don't know that I could ever leave to live elsewhere.
Someday, maybe I'll be able to take a trip to Mexico and see it first hand....

In a 2007 research of the FDi Magazine Guadalajara was the highest ranking major Mexican city having the second strongest economic potential of any major North American city and only Chicago scored more highly for sheer economic potential, in the same research was considered the "city of the future" due to its youthful population, low unemployment and large number of recent foreign investment deals, it was also found the third most business friendly city in North America.
