Just got back from a quick overnight trip to Mexico City. DF is an amazing city and I can't wait to go back and see more....Hints of the swine flu was all around during the government-ordered 5-day shut down of the city. Masks, closed shops and partially opened restaurants offering only "para llevar", deserted streets. Imagine Manhatten x10 void of people and cars. Today, on May 6, businesses were allowed to reopen to the public. One thing for sure, however this crazy flu thing started, it will certainly add to the falling Mexican economy throughout the year, combined with the global recession, a drop in remittances, and the war on drugs. Summer plans? Travel to Mexico. There will probably be less tourists this year then previous. Here are some images from yesterday...
I love the skull mask photo.

Wow...those are some amazing photos. And you're right about there being less tourists in Mexico this summer...especially now.
