Monterrey, Hurricane Emily 2005

This was the bridge connecting the counties of Monterrey and Guadalupe.
Due to some movement caused by the strong current of the Santa Catarina river, a liquefied natural gas duct was ruptured and there was an explosion and fire. The displacement of the columns of the bridge rendered it too unsafe and it was decided the bridge needed demolition, this is the process.

Monterrey, near Parque Fundidora

This pickup truck is loaded with great cooking and lot of smiles and good humor.
Located between Karl's Jr and Popeye's, this is authentic fast food in great flavor and extremely affordable prices.

The food is fresh from the day. They ran out of everything daily before heading home.
On the top they display de the names of the "guisos" still available and they remove those signs as they finish the day's supply. No leftovers to root like in the big chain restaurants.

The friendly couple that runs the "show", she is a great cook. He is making some yummy avocado salsa. Ask them about any tip for enjoying Monterrey, they are always willing to help you, even with other food recomendations, they are not envious and will lovely head you in the right direction.
 

Huaraches

Huarache means Sandal.
The sandals used in Mexico are made of leather, both the sole and the straps.
In this case the item in the picture is Huarache de bisteck, which is a long very thick tortilla with beans in the middle. The name comes from the similarity with a sandal's sole, it´s the same shape, size and color. Funny!

After it's cooked some salsa is added, cream and white shreaded cheese.

They are easily stackable to have them ready for the rush hour when everybody is hungry and not willing to wait for them to be hand made and cooked.
 

Parque Fundidora

The metal plant was converted very succesfully into a park, all the scrap metal was removed and the results are beautiful.

The main building of the oven was opened on 1900 and closed 86 years later.


The Cart serials racetrack with the workshops in the back. The hill in the back is famous Cerro de la Silla (saddle chair Hill because the double tipped mountain reasembles a cowboy saddle chair), the emblem of the city of Monterrey.
Main oven of the melting plant.

MEX - Aeropuerto Cd México Terminal 2

Planes y planos de la nueva terminal T2 para el AICM- Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México.

Al no poderse realizar el proyecto Texcoco-Atenco ni Tizayuca, se optó por crear una nueva terminal para el aeropuerto existente.

El proyecto contempla que la segunda terminal sea unida por un APM Automated People Mover ("Movedor" Automatico de Personas), que es un pequeño tren que unirá ambas terminales para facilitar la conexión de pasajeros.



La terminal 2 contará con un gran estacionamiento y un hotel.
Capacidad para 23 posiciones de contacto y 9 remotas.
Se creará un nuevo distribuidor víal para facilitar el acceso desde Circuito Interior y desde Viaducto Piedad.

El árbol de la noche triste, Cd. de México

Este árbol dice la leyenda, fué donde Hernán Cortes se detuvo a llorar su derrota en una batalla ocurrida en la isla de México-Tenochtitlan.

El nombre es relativo, pues fué triste para el conquistador esa noche, pero no para el país. Aunque a la larga, Cortes sí conquistó y domino esta región del mundo, lo cual realmente fué triste.

En el siglo 20, este árbol sufrió un incendio, al parecer no fue accidental, pero fue sofocado y se pudo rescatar aunque sea el tocón.

Se ubica en la Calzada México - Tacuba, entre las estaciones del metro Colegio Militar y Popotla
