As an interesting and nescessary side issue we need to look at the history of this fascinating country.

To many North Americans, Mexico is part of their old Wild West history but there is far more than that.Even now, Mexico is viewed as a thorn in the rump of America by many in the north who only see the reports of law and disorder and the escapes over the border by desparate people. There is a BIG story behind this country that needs to be read.

Wikipedia has a brief history lesson. I cannot vouch for accuracy but it's worth a read.

I have learned much already. If you know better or more then share.

Some images like this are available elsewhere in better form but copyright issues are common in 20th Century art.

We have to hope that copyright owners accept our desires to learn above others.
