Jose offered me a ride to the conference I was attending nearby. I never had the chance t take him up on that, but it was kind. The place us very secure; security was a little hard to deal with, but never a big issue. He advised me on many things about being in Mexico City, which was my first time. He also lent me a tie and belt for a fancy dinner I was not prepared for. He completed his MA while I was there and celebrated by giving me a bottle of fine Mexican wine. Who does that? Jose is a great guy.
