What made today great?
- Sun and WARMTH. They predict that it will hit the 70 degree mark later this week. Keep your fingers crossed!
- My host mom made a delicious fruit-filled tea today. The name is escaping me, but it's made with these mini apples that smell absolutely fantastic. Again, something that does not exist in the states that I will fully savor while here.
- A local friend of ours took us to a market that basically sells all things pirated. Robin and I bought the movie "New York, I Love You" that we've both been dying to see. It cost less than a buck.
- The bus driver, for two reasons. First, he took some change from his bus fare collection and gave it to a beggar at a stoplight. Second, he waited outside a teeny torteria (torta shop) until someone came out to hand him his lunch in the form of a torta (meaty sandwich).
- In the afternoon, Robin and I visited a museum absolutely for free!
Not band for a Monday, eh?

Hows the poverty level there?
ReplyDeleteSince it's a large city, it's similar to cities we know in the states. It's actually really interesting to notice... you'll see the occasional Hummer or Range Rover at the same stoplight where kids walk up to open car windows asking for spare pesos. There's definitely a large contrast between the rich and poor classes.
