A week in Mexico

Here are a bunch of pictures from the last few days. Things are going well, I'm having a fantastic time, the weather is beautiful, the people are fantastic, and, yes mom, I'm eating very well.
These first few are from Teotihuacan. Here are some great skeletons that look like they are sitting around sharing a good joke.



Here is some graffiti.


Yes, these pyramids are as high up as it looks.




These next two are from a rooftop restaurant in San Miguel. I ate hibiscus tacos there.


This last one is just a fluke. I hadn't downloaded my pictures before I left, so now I leave you with a question: how is Mr. Susan?

Just a quick note...

I'm just posting this really quickly--
I'm safe and I've arrived in lovely San Miguel. After a brief internet snafu, I'm back online and working feverishly to be ready for class tomorrow. Everything is beautiful and comfortable--I think it's 80 today, and my room is comfortable. I will post pictures when I get my act a little more together.

Getting ready for San Miguel

What I have read in the last six weeks for classes:
1. Cod
2. Stealing Buddha's Dinner
3. Candyfreak (possibly my favorite)
4. The Underdogs
5. Biography of Frida Kahlo (way more than I wanted to know about anybody)
6. A brief history of Mexico (really not that brief)
7. Tear this Heart Out (not as bad as it sounds)
8. The Labyrinth of Solitude (way more convoluted than it sounds)
9. The Death of Artemio Cruz
10. about 10 short stories
11. about 10 essays

What is in my two suitcases:
-new printer, thanks to mom
-all nine books and short stories and essays listed above
-sunblock (lots)
-raingear (plenty)
-a few clothes
