In the Mexico City airport there are now lots of signs of change including two which caught my eye as I was returning to the states after a successful trip to Aguascalientes and Zacatecas. The first relates to money exchange. A year ago all of the Casa de Cambios advertised a rate to exchange dollars. All of them now list the Euro also. That says something about the status of the Euro. At the same time in the last six months the value of the dollar to the peso has been drifting down - about 10.35 to the dollar now and at 11.25 several months ago. That suggests some confidence in the economy here.
The second sign in the airport relates to Prodigy/Movil and telmex. The walls are adorned with the note that in this airport Prodigy is free (in small print) if you are already a user. I was able to get on the web by finding an open 802.11 connection - so Carlos Slim - doesn't get my $599 (pesos) per month plus tax.
