Where is President Barack Hussein Obama?

Why, he's here in Mexico City with me! Or he will be Thursday morning.

According to my local sources, he's staying at the Presidente InterContinental in the Polanco district, where rooms go for $300 to $1,000 a night (USD). His posse is taking up 3 full floors.

I can't wait to see what his visit will do to traffic here. I've seen how they "plowed the road" for the US ambassador, Antonio Garza, last year. It isn't pretty if you happen to be trying to get somewhere.

This is not a good time of year to be in Mexico City. April and May are the hottest months of the year, and the only time when temperatures are not in the 70's. The rainy season has not started, so the smog is oppressive (See the photo above - can you see the mountains? No?)

This is a rather long trip for me.... Tuesday thru Friday. It has been a fruitful trip so far. It looks like my two-year project down here is finally going to complete this summer. That is good, because Colombia and Kuwait are waiting in the wings.

Tomorrow's schedule is still up in the air. I will either be (a) here, (b) in Villahermosa, or (c) in Veracruz. Still trying to line up my meetings.

I'm hopeful that we can wrap up our Friday meetings early and get the heck out of here around noon. Looking forward to getting back home.

Hasta que próximo tiempo, lo mantenga en el suelo y girar a la derecha...
