Arrival

Arrived in Oaxaca after a long day of travel. I thought I would be able to join some of the delegation meetings today, but Mexicana changed my flight schedule so I missed everything. On the way from the airport to the hotel we not only passed a McDonalds, KFC, and Office Depot, but the road had an EXIT labeled just for them. It seemed so different from my first time in Mexico almost 25 yrs ago when there was so little foreign corporate presence. How much things have changed. I walked down to the Zocalo just to get a glimpse of a bit of the APPO presence there. Tomorrow there will be more opportunities to explore these issues. Right now I am tired and ready to go to bed.
