Vacation epilogue

Not much sleep was had that last night, what with nervousness and early risings. The trip back was better in that the bus allowed for some shallow sleep, the only theing on the TV was Pirates 2, and there was little traffic in Ciudad de Mexico. the cab ride to the airport was quick, and boarding passes were easy to pick up - United had just one flight leaving that day. We were waiting for four long hours for the flight, but our gate was only announced about 45 minutes before takeoff - airport planning was atrocious like that. The filght home featured the stupidly fun Hairspray, which I really didn't want to like, but did anyway. The same L re-routes from the trip out were in effect in Chicago. Luggage really didn't get unpacked. The front plate got moved to the back, and comfort food was had at The Abbey Pub. Long, dream-filled sleep followed.

Some of the pics are posted here - more as time allows.

I'd like to say that there was some grand lesson from the trip, but I'd be hard pressed to say what it was. I had fun, and learned a bit about the world outside the US, and myself, and how other cultures function, and how they don't, and what's still the same about people there, and what's different. After all that, there's not much to say...
