Last Day in México

Today is my de facto last day in México City. Tomorrow I'm leaving for Juarez International to go back to Atlanta. Today I went to the Cerros, finally. It was really amazing to be up there, but at that height the air is even thinner than in El Valle de Mexico. So it was rough up there. Especially when the hill got too steep to drive the dirtbike and Axel (not to be confused with 'axle') and I had to push it. Towards the top of the mountain/hill were a jail and a landfill. Further up was just trails, and fields with animals, like sheep, with some boys around 11 herding them. The kind of thing that only happens in books and movies and the bible.


What I remember the most about Los Cerros is how windy it was, how beautiful it was (I could see both Las Piramides de Teotihuacan and Popocatépetl, the enormous volcano around the Valle de México, at the same time), how windy it was, and how I learned to ride a manual-transmission dirtbike on top of a mountain.
