Photos from yesterday

It looks like a glorious morning. Having gone almost 24 hours without sleep, I crashed hard last night and slept in through breakfast. Which is too bad, because the dregs smell wonderful. We ended up at the Spanish Cultural Centre, which had a striking display of disturbing photography from various Latin American countries, and a hipster techno bar on the top floor. I was able to function for a short time owing to coca tea, which is a wonderful thing that I wish weren't illegal in Canada. I bet I could kick caffeine if I just had coca tea.

I am quite easy to please, accommodation-wise. Give me a hot shower in the morning and coffee, and I can survive anything. Hot shower has been accomplished, albeit not without some guilt. There's a water shortage in Mexico City. At the Casa, we are lucky to have filtered drinking water available in the guest kitchen, but there are reminders everywhere to use water sparingly. You're not allowed to put toilet paper in the toilet, which is a bit gross, and doing dishes is an interesting process.

( you want pictures, don't you? )

Okay, time to locate some coffee or coca before I pass out.
