We opened the shades and the window but there was no one there so we stepped out and this person had somehow jumped to the next window but his objective was simply to put up bunting for the Prex...no safety net for hime either. The next morning, at breakfast on the roof, we were all held back from the edge by the ubiquitous military men with big guns. This was back in PRI times...every rooftop around the Zocalo had men with guns...the sguare took a couple of hours to fill with busloads of kids and various branches of the military. Everybody was safe and the Prez came and went in about 15 minutes and then the square emptied for the next few hours.<BR/><BR/>PS they have a great cafe on that rooftop.bill reynodsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369896.post-1154557706463856062006-08-02T15:28:00.000-07:002006-08-02T15:28:00.000-07:00Good stuff as usual Clay!<BR/><BR/>Your pix and description makes me think of the San Jose flea market in a more urban setting.<BR/><BR/>That lady's job definitely doesn't look OSHA approved ... yikes.<BR/><BR/>Good run down on the elections. Nice to get a view from someone who's there. Been reading stories recently about Mexico City and the protests the last few days. Made me think of you. Not the protesting part but just whenever I here Mexico City.Paul Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369896.post-1154123070351591932006-07-28T14:44:00.000-07:002006-07-28T14:44:00.000-07:00Okay, I am now completely up to date with your blog.
