Mexico City's airport is in a lake: Would you beleive that?
Lake Texcoco that is. Many centuries ago Aztecs were following a legend. Settle in a lake where an eagle is devouring a serpent on top of a cactus. I believe the point was to find water, and they did find it!
Yesterday the airport was closed man!
Whoever thought of putting an airport on a lake. The worst part of this story is that over twenty million people live now on top of that lake. Actually the urban area is in parts where there is no lake also, but we shouldn't forget the origin of this human settlement.
Obviously it doesn't rain everyday as it did yesterday; but still one wonders who thought of putting an airport on top of a lake.
Fortunately I got to Mexico two weeks ago from Chicago.
