For lunch, the American Chamber of Commerce of Mexico (AmCham) hosted a lunch for the delegation, which was attended by legislators and Governor Brown. General Director of AmCham Guillermo Wolf warmly welcomed the delegation to Mexico City; Governor Brown, Senator de León , Senator Ben Hueso (D-San Diego), Assemblymember Luis Alejo (D-Watsonville) and Ambassador Wayne each gave remarks at the luncheon.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico is nonprofit organization that represents more than 1,000 U.S. companies and 3,500 individuals doing business in Mexico. The cultural component of the day was a tour of the National Museum of Anthropology, which has a number of significant archaeological and anthropological artifacts and exhibits, such as: the Stone of the Sun; giant stone heads of the Olmec civilization; and a replica of Aztec Emperor Montezuma II’s headdress (the original was given to Hernan Cortes and is now at a museum in Vienna). After making a pit-stop at the hotel to freshen up, the delegation headed to the Four Seasons hotel for a dinner hosted by Visit California, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and the Wine Institute. The event celebrated the food and wine that California has to offer. Caroline Beteta, president and CEO of Visit California, introduced Governor Brown, who gave some remarks before the delegation. The night’s entertainment was provided by David Garibaldi, a well-known performance painter from California. He wowed the crowd as he used his paints and brushes to the beat of music to create a painting that fused the flag emblems of California and Mexico: a bear and an eagle.
During the day, Governor Brown met with Mexico’s President of the Senate Raúl Cervantes Andrade and other Mexican legislators. Later in the day he met with Archbishop of Los Angeles Jose Horacio Gomez, and religious and diplomatic leaders from Mexico and Central America to discuss immigration at the Club de Industriales, which is across from the JW Marriott Hotel.
