The Arrival

Well, I made it! I somehow managed to talk my way through customs (yes, in Espanol) with two laptops. Considering you are only allowed to bring one laptop into Mexico per person, I must say I am impressed with myself. I played the innocent scared blonde girl card and explained to a very nice Mexican lady that I HAD to bring two, because I couldn't possibly risk the danger of riding to and from work everyday in a taxi cab, laptop in tow. Luckily, she bought it.

I've already stocked up on groceries and had a nice snack of fresh jicama seasoned with spices and lime juice. Delicious! Probably off to the Tizoncito tonight for tacos al pastor and a michelada.

The weather is beautiful here today - high 70's - and everyone is outside enjoying cafes, ice cream shops and parks. I'm loving La Condesa already...and wishing my sidekick Silvia was with me!
