Back Home

We have been home for about a week now. Catching up before the next trip at the end of August. We both arrived home the same day, though I was beginning to worry when the first three flights of the day left Mexico City full, which means without me. All worked out in the end.

After the close of "Best Before" the farewells were interesting since people are going different places and not everyone will be with each of the future performances. So we heard, "see you in Vancouver""see you in Denmark""see you in Geneva" etc.

We spent a few days sightseeing in Mexico City. We spent one whole day at the Museun of Anthropology, which was overwhelming. You can't really take it all in in one day. Most of the rest of our time was spent wandering the streets, taking in the sights and smells. Especially the bakeries that are a big as our neighbourhood supermarket. We took time to wander the halls of the great public buildings that house many of the fantastic murals, most notably those by Diego Rivera.


The Angel is the symbol of Mexican independence. Mexico is making big plans for its bicentennial this year. The countdown clock in the zocolo indicates that the official timing for the event is in mid September, but they are getting ready now.



I have mentioned that the audiences in Mexico were the most involved. As an English speaker, I don't know how much Conde had to do with that, but he was dynamic on stage. Here he is in action
