We stayed at Victoria's apartment during the September earthquake and although Roma was one of the worst hit areas of the city, the apartment building was thankfully spared. Victoria was very concerned for our welfare throughout, even to offering us hot showers at her home. As it turned out the building was without electricity as gas for a very short time. We have stayed at this apartment before and Victoria keeps it spotlessly clean and it is very comfortable and quite well provisioned with basic food items etc. That turned out to be a godsend this time as it was quite difficult to find restaurants that weren't catering to the rescue effort. This certainly was not the holiday we had envisioned for ourselves but the respect I have for the people of Mexico City and Victoria will always be forever imprinted on my heart.
