Land of the noonday sun Mexico in midwinter
Justice Walter Clark recounts travel in Mexico, describing climate, plazas, social customs, class dress, and polite policing. He notes urban planning around plazas, double promenades by class, marriage customs, language ease for travelers, rail travel times, and contrasts with U.S. law enforcement and brigandage. He slept in a convent in Zacatecas and in a Mexico City palace, with churches owned by the government.
