Adventures with the PRI
Aug. 2nd, 2010 11:32 pmToday we had the brilliant idea of walking up to the PRI headquarters, asking to be let in, and trying to get an interview with the party president, Beatriz Paredes Rangel. We weren't immediately successful, but they were much nicer than one would imagine. We may have interviews later this week. At any rate, they let us film inside the gates, and even in the conference room for the party execs.

If you'd told me in second year university when I was studying Latin American history that I'd be here, I wouldn't have believed you.
We also tried to get an interview with the CMT, the organization of corrupt company unions, but it was 3 pm so they'd all left for the day.

Attempts at night photography.

My current favourite place: the patio off the women's dorm at the Casa.
Not a lot of pictures today because when we weren't at the PRI office, waiting, we were starting to edit.

Those plants, they are beautiful. Best patio.
