[Aztlan] running time Tenochtitlan to coast

[David Hixson]

And everyone should read "Crazy February" - one of the
best novels focusing upon the Maya.  In it, one of the
burdens that the protagonist carries is the corpse of
his relative.  I haven't read it in a long time, but
these recent comments brought it all back.
