South of the Border
After spending so much time in Canada this year, I thought I’d balance it out with a quick trip with Tom to Mexico City. We did the normal tourist stuff during the day: the Museum of Anthropology, the pyramids of Tehotihuacan, the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It’s amazing how much Magic there is in Mexico — from Catholic miracles, to human sacrifices for the plumed serpent. It’s pervasive in the art and culture of the place. I could feel a kind of supernatural hum as I walked around. By night, we went out on the town and saw a different city. Super-sophisticated restaurants (a Mexican-asian-French one that was actually good), and a lot of emphasis on electronica in the club scene. It was only a short trip, so I didn’t have time to check out the Mexican art that I’m into, but hey — I climbed a pyramid!
