I was in 8th grade and my grandmother (who lived there) just passed away. Mexican law says items must be removed from the home upon death or it will all be auctioned off. My parents, my brother and I lived there for 3 months while we settled her estate. I will NEVER forget my first impression of Mexico City and will NEVER forget the beauty of the arts college and the square in the center of town. I was struck then at the division of rich and poor and with the wells all over one side of town where the women washed clothing. I haven’t been back as an adult and am dying to go.
