Read moreI rode down line 12, almost to the southern end, and alighted at Zapotitlan. The station symbol shows a tree with three branches containing the sapote fruit. This represents the first part of the station name. The ‘titlan’ suffix means ‘between’, so Zapotitlan means between the sapote trees. Around the station I found what they […]
Read morePacking yourself off to Military School probably isn’t one of your top priorities. Today I made it mine. ABOUT TURN! Colegio Militar takes its name from the nearby Military School installation which operated until 1976. Just after I alighted I watched a chap, sans lower limbs, expertly shimmy by on a skateboard. All power to […]
Read moreHoy decido añadir Buenavista al MCM Project. No está muy lejos afuera del centro y por lo tanto no hizo necesario que viajara una distancia larga desde mi base en pleno centro.

Read moreJust in the last post for the station Niños Heroes I mentioned the claim of the cantina La Ribera to have the best ‘cabrito’ (young goat/kid) in Mexico. In the MCM Project visit to Ferrería, which features a cow head as its logo, I made closer acquaintance with the creature in question. ‘Can I take […]
Read moreRoaming in the Federal District down Miguel Angel De Quevedo way. Quotidian it may be but mundane it is not. Conquer the ascent with a ladder to the sky. Another story to tell. ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.’ A first stone must be laid. Unload, offload, pack, unpack, a […]
Read moreAcababa de bajar en Copilco y estaba tomando unas fotos de la cabeza de bronce de un busto de bronce cuando un niñito me llamó. Bienvenido a Jose Luis, de cinco años. ‘De aqui puedes sacar buena foto’ me dijo. ‘Lo veo perfecto.’ Asi que, caminé a conocer mi mentor nuevo y saqué su foto […]
