My Mexican Crib

Dear Blog,

I can't believe I get to write to you two days in a row--what luck! Once again, Juan and I came to his office to use the internet. I really owe Al Gore a thank you card for his genius. Last night, we looked at some overpriced furniture (turns out that Italian leather is expensive no matter where you are) and ate sushi (decent but not as good as the stuff in Georgetown). It rained 'gatos y perros' yesterday. The cool part was that at the furniture store a man came out with an umbrella and walked us to the door--that's Mexican service for you. After we went back to our apartment, we cleaned and straightened a little more. Juan read a book about fengshui, and I watched an episode of Wings on my computer.

This morning, we walked (my new hobby too, Gretchen) to 7/11 to buy coffee and cereal. I love that there is a 7/11 on the corner of our street! I also took pictures of our apartment. The picture on the right is our kitchen. The place still needs some work but there's marked improvement. The picture below is of me standing on our sliver-of-a-balcony, which has a really cool view.

Juan also took me to the top of our building. There is a party room with a deck, a hot tub, and a tiny little door--which I believe was made for little people--that leads to the roof. The door is the perfect size for the Roloffs and Elena. I felt like Alice in Wonderland as I contorted my body so I could squeeze through to the roof, but it was worth the effort because the view was awesome.

Later today, we are going to walk around Chapultepec Park, so I will be sure to send you pictures. Tomorrow we are going to Oaxaca, which has a large indigenous population and is located south of Mexico City, so I will take more pictures there.

Hasta luego,

Jenny en la ciudad
