After an aborted attempt on 30th September, due to Linea 4 being closed for the day, I completed the entire Mexico City metro network on 1st October. The photograph above is from San Lazaro, perhaps the most architecturally impressive station in the network.
In the end I raised a total of US$140 for Wildcoast, and got a nice letter from them.
Dear Gary:Thank you so much for your support and raising $140 for Wildcoast. I enjoyed
your about your world record attempt. We appreciate you spreading the word
about the work of WiLDCOAST to protect coastal ecosystems and wildlife and
to make sure that the wonderful ocean animals of Mexico--like sea turtles
can remain in the ocean.
We are hosting an event in Mexico City with El Santo in December and we'll
make sure that you get an invite!!!
Cheers and all the best for the Holidays!
