This city is bigger than you think. I’m sure you are thinking “really big”…but think again. It takes one and a half hours to get anywhere. There are five lane highways to go into the city, but it doesn’t matter; they would be five lanes of massive traffic jams and aggressive driving skills. I don’t use the word aggressive lightly. Every one is in a rush, but no one is going anywhere. They love blowing their horns, primarily to release road rage.You wouldn’t even be able to fit a soccer ball between cars, changing lanes is a threat to your life. Indicating signals don’t exist; it’s survival of the fastest and the bravest.
Imagina Un Mundo School is an amazing place. It’s an old colonial house protected by a four meter wall, with a rustic wood gate. We were treated like VIP; we slept in the store room with blankets and a huge number of mats. This was great until the temperatures dropped. Who knew Mexico City can be so cold. The altitude of 2400m may have had something to do with it.
