Newspapers on the flight home

On my flight back from Mexico City, I had two layovers, one in Dallas and one in Orange County (near Los Angeles).

In Dallas, I read an editorial in the newspaper which reminded me that Mexicans are not the only ones disturbed by "American-style" spring break -- there are plenty of Americans who are just as baffled by its growing popularity. The piece also talks a bit about something I don't know that we get into much (& I don't know that we should) -- how much it says about American culture that college kids go to another country to do their partying. Really, the #1 reason they go to Mexico is because they can't legally drink in the U.S. It's a weird issue but mostly I thought it was interesting to hear an American perspective on it. Here it is: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/opinion/viewpoints/stories/DN-daum_22edi.ART.State.Edition1.461fea9.html

And then in the Santa Ana, California airport (I kid you not, it's called the John Wayne International Airport), I picked up the LA Times and read this article about Mexico City's fake beaches! Here it is: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-fakebeach22mar22,1,6865472.story

I also read a great article in the LA Times about the woman who is the mayor of Pomona, California, originally from Guatemala. Man, we really need to take Dos Pueblos to LA. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-profile22mar22,1,5505073.story

Muy interesante!
