Masks are off and stores are open

Dear Blog,

I got back to Mexico City on Tuesday and it seems like everything has returned to normal, more or less. There aren't as many people wearing masks and everything is starting to open up again. We start classes again on Monday, but I went in today to clean up the classroom and disinfect everything. I guess we'll see how things go.

Not much else is new. Juan is watching some black and white slapstick comedy, and I think I'm gonna scratch my eyes out. How can we have such different taste? Little Monty is chewing a plastic steak. When we presented him with the political party mascots, he went for the donkey, just like I thought he would. In all fairness, he has ripped both of them apart, so maybe he's an Independent.

It is so hot right now. It was almost ninety degrees today--ugh! I hate hot weather, but at least it's not humid. The problem is that we don't have air conditioning, so I feel like I am baking. Elena and Mar would never survive in my apartment right now. I can't wait for rainy season to start.

Well, I'll write to you again soon!

Love,
Jenny en la ciudad
