Saturday, June 30th. Arrived in DF! The Mexican toll roads were just as good as everyone had described, with the added surprise of grazing livestock along the freeway medians and a lot of rain. As the car climbed up to Mexico City, the highway widened and the traffic got a little wilder. Soon enough, we were stuck in a Saturday afternoon traffic jam. We'd made it!
Mexico City is "el d.f." , the distrito federal. I think it is the second most populous city. There was a NYTimes story reporting it coming in at over 18 million, quite a bit behind Tokyo's 28M. Wow. (http://news.aol.com/story/_a/un-predicts-urban-population-explosion/20070629210909990001)
