I was reminded today as we flew over Mexico city how crowded Mexico City is. Depending on the parameters, it is the third most populated city or urban area in the world with nearly 25 million people, and you can definitely tell this just from the flight over the city. Every block is so packed with structures.
Customs took about an hour, as usual, and sadly, after we made it through, Mexico was already down 2-0 to Argentina in the Copa Mundial. We watched the game from the airport cafe while the group exchanged currency. Many of us were looking forward to being in Mexico during the Cup and hopefully catching a game among the Mexican people while cheering on their team. We are still lucky to be here in a country that appreciates "the beautiful game" for the quarterfinals and championship, though. Luckily we have a free day on the 2nd of July to watch the games with the Mexican people. What a treat that will be!
