It is felt that it would be best for you to return
to the United States after your visit to Mexico in order
to avoid the impression that you had been simply going
through Mexico in transit to other countries.
It is suggested that President Alemán's return visit
be made sometime in April if your schedule will permit.
The altitude of Mexico City is approximately 7200
feet and the weather in the daytime is warm enough to be
comfortable in light-weight woolen clothing. In the
evening after sunset, it is cool enough to require a
light topcoat. The temperature in the coastal regions
is somewhat higher and a lighter type of clothing will
be comfortable. For official evening functions full
dress clothing will be appropriate, and for a call upon
the President a dark suit such as President Alemán habit-
ually wears upon ceremonial occasions will be in order .
There are many interesting trips which can be made
with Mexico City as a base. Cuernavaca, about 2000 feet
lower than Mexico City, is about an hour and a half drive
from the capital up over the mountain range and then
down. It is famous for its even climate and for its
picturesque
scenery. Taxco, about 100 miles from the
capital in the heart of the silver mining country, is a
quaint and picturesque little town which gives the
impression
