Yeah, the summer sun's calling my name!
It was a cold morning as I woke up at 7 AM. I was sorely tempted to stay in bed for "just a little bit longer."
What happened to me yesterday? I have no idea. I was tired due to being unable to sleep on Thursday night. I was frustrated for various reasons. And the paycheck I thought I was getting yesterday didn't come.
So what did I do?
The weather was beautiful and inviting yesterday, so I just ditched the normal ride home and walked around the city. It was interesting, to say the least.
The zone I work in is upper class, but that also means that prostitutes flock the area to help relieve stressed-out businessmen. In fact, all sorts of colorful characters spend their afternoons here, but it is a nice place for a walk.
I finally went home around 7 PM, and all I did once there was play video games and eat guayaba-filled chocolates that Alex brought from Costa Rica. It was the afternoon off I needed, and now that I'm finally settled in a bit, I feel like many more afternoons will be spent similarly. (That is, when I have them. I work three afternoons each week.)
And today is sunny and comfortable. At 2 PM a friend is coming to work to meet me, and then we'll do whatever we feel like doing in the city. And something I feel like doing in the city, since it's FINALLY payday again (paying deposits for apartments tends to make your bank account balance a depressing thing to look at), I plan on going out for Parrilla Argentina...ARGENTINIAN STEAKS. These delicacies go quite expensively, even in Mexico, where you can eat a meal with an appetizer and a dessert for $50 pesos (a little less than 5 dollars).
Tomorrow, we'll go to Teotihuacan, since it was rainy last weekend. Hopefully it will stay dry enough for us to at least arrive and get some good pictures. (The long hike to the pyramids will be a few kilometers at high altitude.)
Other than that, I don't have a lot to say. Hopefully soon our internet will be up and running, and I can finally post some photographic evidence of my life here.
Keep it real.
