There was plenty of time that summer to visit historic places, museums, art galleries, archeological sites , and cultural events. On weekends we would often travel to visit distant cities, Pueblo and Acapulco amongst others. I especially liked to visit the coffee shops. I like a good cup of coffee. Even in so-called gourmet coffee shops they seem to start with ordinary coffee beans and think they can improve the flavor with additives.
Mexican coffee is great.
I remember with great relish the cups I have had in Mexican coffee shops. Their secret is simple. Begin with good, fresh coffee beans. Where ever I traveled, the citizens of Mexico were always a delight. They were both polite and patient with my attempts at speaking their language.
