I’ll admit it – I’m fascinated by the huge volcano 40 kilometers from Mexico City airport, near Puebla. In this video, a father and son team climbed to the lip of the volcano to film it.

Another great photo from the Facebook page “La Ciudad de México en el tiempo.” Avenida Juárez – not hard to recognize the spot.
Vista de la avenida Juárez a la altura del cruce con Humboldt en 1956. Entre muchos detalles, se aprecia el Edificio Corcuera con su anuncio de llantas Goodrich, y a la izquierda de éste, el Banco del Valle de México; del lado derecho está el edificio de Juárez 97, que aún existe, y en la misma acera destaca la antigua sede de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores, demolida junto con los inmuebles vecinos para ampliar el Paseo de la Reforma en 1964.
These were my choices one evening in Tuxtla Gutierrez. I ordered the tacos al pastor, but I should have gone for something more exotic… I don’t imagine they could have surprised me too much.
I try to blend in wherever I travel.
The famous volcano near Mexico City and Puebla has been increasingly active for several months, including throwing massive amounts of ash into the air. Mexico City airport – 40 kilometers away, was shut down briefly earlier this week because of ash. The alert level is just one step short of calling for evacuation. Here’s the link to El Universal newspaper.

A great photo of the chapel in the 1970s. From the Facebook page “Ciudad ed México en el tiempo”

A lovely evening in my favorite neighborhood, Colonia Roma. By coincidence, the main character in the book I was reading on this trip lived on the same street as my hotel. February, 2012
Just another stand in a downtown Mexico City market. November, 2009
Duck enchiladas in a stunning black Oaxacan mole. At the lovely Polanco restaurant Ixote. Lunch cost more than my hotel that night, but a) I was staying at an inexpensive hotel, and b) it would have been worth it at any price.
