Strange Days in Mexico City
du Nord, April 27, 2009
Got an email from Andrew MacDonald in Mexico City this weekend:Things around here have seemed quite surreal the last couple of days.How's this for futbol news...the Pumas vs. Chivas game at CU, and the America vs. Tecos game at Azteca are going to be played behind closed doors because of this flu epidemic that´s killed 60 people here in Mexico City. It´s some new strain of flu.They also canceled all school yesterday (Friday) for the first time since the monster earthquake of 1985. The streets are very quiet, with residents being advised to stay inside, and lots of people are wearing face masks.Strange days, AndrewAndrew MacDonald contributed a great piece to us at du Nord last week on his adventurous trip to a Club Amerca v UNAM Pumas derby match in the DF.
