No place is perfect, and I am the first to admit that there are things about Mexico City that I do not like.
The Mexico City tourist department has adopted the slogan, "The city that has everything". Yes, everything including horrendous traffic, the thing that I probably hate most about Mexico City.
I took these photos from a pedestrian bridge that crosses over the Viaducto Miguel Alemán, a major freeway that stretches in a west-east direction for about six miles from my neighborhood toward the airport.
The thing about Mexico City traffic is that it is not just during rush hours that the traffic is heavy. The "viaducto" is usually congested throughout the day.
I'm starting to feel the same way about traffic in our small town and the environs. I wonder all the time "where are all these people going in the middle of the day?" I will take back roads or go through the park whenever I can to avoid streams of cars, even it it takes longer to do so.
ReplyDeleteIt's not always easy to avoid the traffic here, even taking alternate routes.
