Seib, R. 1984 Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico 27 Oct Set the alarm for six and got there and ate; the airport moved and she almost missed her flight; last person to board the plane. Got a shoeshine in the town square and ended up coming back to the hotel to sleep. After an hour I was fast asleep when the phone woke me up. It was Tiki at the Mexico City airport.
