In high school I was an exchange student in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, then a city of about 500,000 about 7 hours northwest of Mexico City. I lived with the family of Sr. Eliseo Herrera Lozano, attended Catholic school with my Mexican sister and participated in other family and social activities. I was there before Mexico became so self-consciously westernized. I saw abject poverty and tremendous wealth. It was a very influential experience. This photo is of the Arco de la Calzada de los Heroes in the city center.
