Today is our last day in Mexico City before we join our tour and move on. We have met our fellow travellers and they all seem great people. An English couple from Bexley – we hit it off immediately as not only are they great travellers and wine-drinkers, his parents were thrown out of the Communist Party for being “too Trotskyite” – needless to say they have already visited the Leon Trotsky Museum and his grave here in Mexico City. The other eight people are Australian – and two of them had their luggage “mislaid” by their (different) airlines on the way here; we hope that doesn’t bode ill for the rest of our trip.
We have spent the day wandering around the city and marvelling at its diversity – but it is also a very tiring city, it seems to drain your strength away. But we didn’t let that stop us visiting a number of places to see some of the magnificent Diego Rivera murals. His themes include pre-Columbian society, modern agriculture and science, and a didactic Mexican history pointing to a Socialist future that would benefit all.
