Happy Birthday, Stephen!
Happiest birthday wishes to my friend Stephen.... Spring birthdays are inherently cheerful, I think... with a spirit of renewal and awakening in the air....
The Mexico I Won't See (But Saw)
I'm in Mexico City as you read this, for two days of intense meetings. I won't see much local color, but I'm very familiar with the city's palette from previous visits... Wow, this is my 114th foreign trip and my 28th to Mexico, by far my most frequented country...Here, from my vacation with Thomas last August, are pictures of non-business Mexico City...
Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City's magnificent opera house. The baroque, over-the-top art nouveau exterior is Italian white marble and glass, while inside are murals by Mexico's masters of the genre, Rivera, Tamayo, Siqueiros, and Orozco...
The dubious snacks of Mexico City's street vendors...
Tree trunks and buildings in a pastel haze...
Statue on Mexico City's green but busy thoroughfare, Paseo de la Reforma...
