Apologies for the delinquency in beach photo uploads!! We have a couple friends visiting this week, so we have been busy with a flurry of taco-eating, pyramid-visiting, tequila-drinking, lucha-watching, bullfight-attending, etc. For an added bonus, one of the visitors (college friend James) is taller than us, which has provided an exciting chance for me to not be the *most* stared at person on the streets of Mexico City.
I don’t want to keep all my cold-climate friends in suspense though, so here are a couple snippets to tide y’all over…
A view from our balcony window...
Me savoring a Christmas cerveza; I only drink beers whose labels match my outfits
And a view from the other side of the bay; our place was the yellow house tucked amongst the trees towards the left
More details to follow shortly!! In the interim, a Happy New Year to all!!

Hmm…this morning when we got up the temperature was -16F and if felt like -31F outdoors. We drove 300 miles in those temperatures with blowing snow the last 100 miles. What’s wrong with this picture, as compared to the 3 pictures above?

Julie-
What resource do you use to keep abreast of the DF goings on? I’m frequently reading/hearing about events that I would like to have attended/seen/participated in if I’d only known…
Thanks,

Hey Martin! Here are a few of my best bets for things happening around Mexico City:
http://www.chilango.com
http://www.donde-ir.com
http://www.reforma.com (though you need a subscription to see anything beyond the homepage)
http://www.eluniversal.com.mx
http://www.guiasdf.com/ (just heard about that one)
We subscribe to the newspaper Reforma for Fri-Sat-Sun; their Friday issue has a “Primera Fila” section that sometimes has goings-on about town.
The other blogs on my links list also sometimes mention things happening in the area.
Those are my best hot tips! Good luck!!
Mom– hopefully the lucha libre mask keychains you received make up for this…??
Love you!
