One more day in Mexico City, plus Cuernavaca

[rhyll]

Yesterday we went to see Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's blue house, which was beautiful.

Last night J and I went out (unsupervised!*) and met up with C-from-Psychology. It was a pleasant evening - a lot of trying to talk Spanish, a reasonable amount of tequila, and some wandering around. Our taxi driver had trouble finding the hotel, and I was surprised when he stopped next to a police car, lights flashing, to ask for directions. They answered, too.

Today we drove to Cuernavaca, which is smaller and safer than Mexico City. When we went out for dinner, I saw an old woman pressed up behind a pillar. She looked so determined, with her lips pressed together. It turned out she was waiting to throw a rock at a stray dog that was coming her way. Sometimes, grandmothers are scary.

Coming up soon: Gigantic Mexican Wedding, Cuba!

* Well, M had stern talks with us, and then stern talks with the taxi driver who was told to stick with us for the evening, and we were in the Zona Rosa, which is a safe area.
