For many, Mexico remains a land of Pedro sleeping away his days leaning
against an adobe hut, sombrero pulled low over his face, with a burro
drowsing nearby. Apparently this is actually belived. An American woman
of immoderate idiocy once asked me by email whether Mexico had paved
roads.Such folk seem to have in mind, if mind they have, the Mexico of
the age of Pancho Villa. As best I can tell, they have no ideas at all
of the rest of Latin America.
