Lunes, 16 Julio 2012. Frank
stopped at 7:15am, said he would take us to bus station. We ate a quick breakfast and he showed up an hour
later. The bus which picked us up in Fortín coming from
Córdoba, only stopped at Orizaba, and was not a local bus, stopping
many times as we had expected. It was a four and a half hour ride,
enough time for nearly three movies. Unlike the US, these buses have
seat belts and window screens if one wants shade. At TAPO bus
station, Mexico City, we shopped for antihistamine & phone
recharge card to use in September. Lunch at Church's chicken same
like last time. Huge meal. We couldn't possibly eat it all. The
five-piece chicken meal was the smallest choice, with at least a cup
and half of mashed potatoes and gravy and the same of coleslaw. Two
delicious biscuits. Yes we took the extra back to the hotel with us.
We took the Metro (subway), with tickets Dan saved from two
years ago. We got on the pink line heading east to the Pantitlan
terminus then changed to yellow line two stops to the airport. When
we got on to the pink line, which was extremely packed, Carmen shoved
Dan hard for fear his behind was not inside the door as it closed.
From the Metro stop at the airport it's only a short three blocks
(across the overhead to other side of the busy multilane street) to
the Hotel Aeropuerto, P$590 (multiply by .074 to get US$) for a clean
& quiet (room on back side of hotel, away from the airport ).
Ate the second half of our meal, watched some TV and to bed early.
