Today, the Mexico from A to Z series comes to its end. Throughout the past 26 weeks, we have journeyed through Mexico’s history, geography, events, heroes and villains. Each week a letter was showcased and I presented you things beginning with that letter, which I thought would be representative of my country. I tried always to remain objective, praising the good and pointing out the bad. With this, I tried to paint you a picture of Mexico with all its complexity, its beauty, its faults and its needs and hopes for the future. I hope I have conveyed both the great sense of pride and love I have for my country, and that you have come to share a little bit of that feeling with me.
Along these weeks, I wrote over 35,000 words (without counting elaborations and replies), spanning 97 different topics; you’ve been kind enough to visit my threads over 8000 times, and replying over 200 times, in which we were able to further develop ideas, to discuss different things, and in which you taught me a lot as well. I learned about your views of my country, and of angles that would be hard to see from within.
Above all, I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. This started as a project both to share with you and to celebrate the Bicentennial Anniversary that happens today. I am happy to bring it to a proud conclusion.
Finally, I offer you an index for the whole series, containing the direct link to each letter and the breakdown of what it contains, so that you can access them in the future. A link to this index will be permanently in my signature for everyone to see.
So thanking you again for making this series a success beyond what I had imagined, I leave you with the Index.
