I do Love México as well but I might be a bit biased
It is great to hear that you had a good time in México.
How many days was your trip about?
Arrived at Merida July 10th left Mexico Sept.5th
Lots of Mexicans around the Chipilo, State of Puebla still speak French as also in Veracruz; makes one wonder that if the French had stayed how much better off the country might be...and given the history of peaceful independence for all its colonies, how Mexico would have fared; would there have been a counter revolution such as the Cristeros had to wage against the neo- bolsheviks that took over the Mexican govt in the 1920's. and immediately began outlawing the Catholic Church and then murdering priests, burning churches and killing even peons for attending mass....would it have become as vile and corrupt as it still is today as opposed to the former French colonies that flourished and prospered in post-colonial times. They alone in all of Africa have stable, prosperous economies, no food shortages, their governments are well run and their models of the French civil services are outstanding in a continent with endemic tribal and ethnic warfare which continue to hold them hostage to being underdeveloped, poor in every sense and barely above the state of primitive savagery For myself, it's a shame that the clock of history could not/ cannot be reset and somehow substitute the French for the Spanish who left so much devastation behind. I tend to look at the roads not taken and wonder what if...and I take the roads no one takes; always have. I loathe conventional thinking and prefer being politically incorrect...that for me is real life and more fun.
