México!

Ok, so it has been a while since I blogged - sorry about that. Not much has gone on actually. I haven't traveled (until this week), nothing exciting has happened in Bonn, and as my son says after I get home from a ride, "No fresh booboo's".

But, that all changed on Monday, the traveling, not the booboo's. I had meetings in México City this week. Fortunately, there is a direct non-stop from Frankfurt to México City, unfortunately it is 12.5 hours to get there. Thank goodness for personal entertainment systems on the airplane. I watched two movies, two TV shows and played a few games. I also worked a little bit...

I really liked México City, mainly for the food. Everything has a great flavor to it. A lot of really good spices and salsa on everything! The other thing I liked about the trip was my hotel was right in the airport and the offices I had meetings in were right in the airport as well. All I had to do was roll out of bed, walk to the office (deciding which of the 3 Starbuck's to stop at) and I was at work. Same thing at the end of the day - no Taxi's! Although the taxi's are cool. They are old VW Bugs, well, old body style since they still made them for México until 2 years ago, and are green with white tops! Very cool looking.

Finally, what trip to México wouldn't be complete without a margarita? Well, just in case you missed out on one while you were there, Lufthansa offers one as a welcome beverage in addition to the normal champagne, water or orange juice. Very nice start to the long return flight... Next week, Prague!
