The day has finally arrived, and we are not sure what to make of it all.
Less than two blocks away is the Zocolo, the large central plaza in the middle of Mexico City. Over 10,000 people have gathered, many in tent cities for days, to support the opposition candidate who is claiming to be the *real* president of Mexico - going so far to have his own inauguration weeks back and start a "parallel government" from the streets.
And about 15 minutes in another direction, the actual inauguration is trying to get underway in the Congressional chambers amid days of physical violence among elected officials trying to block the proceedings. We've been watching the news and things are clearly still incredibly tense, with scuffles continuing even as foreign dignitaries arrive.
We're going to eat quickly and get out to see some of this for ourselves...

This should be muy interesante!
