world travelers meeting / 2
You always can trust the german summer, but this time it had rained only during the night. As our truck is stored in mexico city we spent our night in our kombi.
world travelers meeting
during our previous trip we were often amazed at how popular the unimog worldwide is. large tires and a truck with a mercedes star is often enough to convert an atego to an unimog, – at least for many americans who never got a chance to see such a rig. The unimog museum gagggenau oranized a world travelers meeting and for us it was a great opportunity to meet many traveler buddies again. For sure there was a bbq in the evening and a lot of stories were told on the long table.

méxico city / 2
México Centro is – out off kilter. The city was originally founded on an island. The surrounding sea is long gone, but the soft ground makes the Old Town peu à peu-sink. the ground has already yielded 10 meters in the last 70 years. Everything is incline and lean. Palaces, towers, churches – with just one leaning tower europe can go home then.
México Centro is – militarily. Everywhere crowds of soldiers and police men with shields and guns. As would they have a mass demonstration every morning. The deployment of troops is México’s response to social conflicts. In ther center of México City they ensure the safety for the visitors – with success.
México Centro is – clean. Those who are not in the army, are armed with a broom. Everywhere they sweep and pick things up. Waste separation doesn´t take place at the trash cans but on the garbage trucks. There the workers are picking up all recyclables with their bare hands.
