They figure a family of four will pay about $400 when you consider transportation, tickets, food, etc., just to see one game. I have yet to do so, and probably will never do so at those prices. I would rather spend my money on seeing art.pitchertakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714720069598091235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11526678.post-15288004317417704392009-07-09T07:43:14.613-05:002009-07-09T07:43:14.613-05:00Steve, I don't think you'll find prices li...Steve, I don't think you'll find prices like this in Mexico. We went to the huge Frida show in DF. Neither of us can remember exactly what it cost but we think about $100 pesos. It was a block bluster show. Yes, we had to get to DF and we stayed a few days and also took in some other Frida sites as well but I felt like we got our money's worth. Although you might not see a show such as this, I don't think culture is as expensive in Mexico. And BTW, you simply must go to DF sometime and hit the museums. There are so many of them it may take more than one trip.Billie Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826454938577230499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11526678.post-53831603609659030692009-07-08T22:24:41.535-05:002009-07-08T22:24:41.535-05:00On my list of factors of places to live, I frequen...On my list of factors of places to live, I frequently write about "culture."
