above: Amber appreciates fresh, new airport

We flew out of the brand-new Terminal 2 at the Benito Juarez International Airport in Mexico City yesterday. It's big and white and clean and the paint isn't dry yet (they opened a little over a week ago).



The dominant element of the architecture is ... holes! Portholes. Lots of them. Everywhere. The whole building is a huge, semi-permeable giant concrete fabric swatch.



Right now it doesn't have the bustle of Terminal 1, but some life should come to it once the stores open up and more airlines move in.
