I recently went to an YMCA International Conference in Mexico City. What an experience to have met so many people from all around the world! It was an eye opener in that it made me to take a step back and get out of our daily routines and worries and look at the world at a much broader and higher level.
I love the Y because of what it does for our community, but the conference also gave me an opportunity to see what other Y's are doing all around the world. Some are very focused on working with migration issues, and others are involved in local political causes such as bringing equality to women.
Mexico City was great - love the architectures of the museums and government buildings in the downtown and historic centers. We also visited the Pyramid at Teotihuacan - the tequila at the gift shop was great :-) and the climb up the pyramid was a great workout! A definitely must for all tourists.
