Thanks for your concern

We had quite a few messages from people worried about all the news events in Mexico on Sunday. Fortunately, Mexico City wasn't affected, and there was only a couple of blocked roads and vehicle fires 20 kms from our town of Valle de Bravo.

In fact, the local government put out a notice on Sunday and another on Monday saying that you might notice more security vehicles around town, but that otherwise things were operating normally.

So we're heading back to Mexico City on Wednesday, and I'm sure we won't even notice that there were any problems in the country at all. In fact, I've been reading today that even the problem areas are back to normal.

Sunday was a pretty quiet day for us. We went and did some shopping with Mike and Louise, then they took us up to the Mirador for some great views over the city.

The lookout on the right above belongs to a private restaurant.

Then in the afternoon, Mike and Louise had friends come over for a pizza dinner and we played a rousing game of Mexican Train. They are also looking after their friends dog for the week, so we had some furry company for the evening.

Next up... Quito!
