Spanish Ciudad de México City (pop., 2000: city, 8,605,239; 2003 metro. area est., 18,660,000), capital of Mexico. Located at an elevation of 7,350 ft (2,240 m), it is officially coterminous with the Federal District, which occupies 571 sq mi . We stayed with local families and attended school each day.

Danny and I did everything together--from tae kwon do tae kwon do Korean martial art resembling karate. It is characterized by the use of high standing and jump kicks as well as punches and is practiced for sport, self-defense, and spiritual development.

People are always honking their horns and driving wherever they want. There is no grass anywhere. At Danny's school, the playground is in a courtyard in the center of the building.
