month ago they were Just as
happy to be leaving for a trip
to Mexico City in company with
her brother-in-law and sister.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Smith.
They encountered no language
barrier as Mr. Smith speaks the
language and the others got by
with gestures and smiles. They
were driving camper and found
that most of the larger towns
had modem camp grounds at a
cost of 51.50 a night In Amer
lean money. They bought water
for S pesos for a 5 gallon jug.
One peso equals 8e. They didn't
care for Mexican food so did
most of their own cooking. They
met quite a number of Amer
icans in the camp grounds.
They loved seeing the modern
city that Mexico City has be
come with its 8 million people.
It is a beautiful city with its
open spaces, rountains end park
areas, the churches and muse
ums. They weren't wildly excit
ed about the Bull Fight. They
saw the fire ceremony when they
visited the Pyramids. They
watched them blowing glass at
the glass factory. They visited
the pottery places. They watch-!
ed them doing their beautiful i
hand weaving.
Beggars were everywhere.
Some of the children were bare
ly old enough to walk. They
found that when they gave one
a coin, they then had a Ion
string following them.
Crops looked good. They saw
flourishing crops of tobacco and
sugar cane and tropical fruits.
Irrigation practices and projects
were of the most modern.
They said the adobe huts
looked like bird nests made of
sticks and mud. They had a
rough exterior. It looked near
ly impossible for the many
childrened families to sleep in
the one-room huts. They slept
on pallets on the floor.
They saw the great herds of
goats herded by the very famil
iar figure, the Mexican asleep
with his sombrero pulled down
over his lace. Lous oi goat
cheese is made In Mexico.
They drove 6500 miles and
were gone 28 days.
