Tacos and Trotsky

Very exciting day today doing tourist stuff. We accomplished no filming whatsoever, but quite a bit of editing brainstorming, and hit the major museums that I was dying to see.

Adventures with the PRI

Today 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.
