Next - Queretaro! (Yes, again.)

First - my apologies for the lack of photos here. I'm posting on Facebook - this link should get you to a public album with some Mexico City shots.

There's only one thing I miss about my Windoze-based Stinkpad over my MacBook Air - the Picasa interface to Blogger. Trying to use Blogger to upload photos has been a PITA at best, and mostly hasn't worked at all. Will probably just source images from my Picasa web album, but don't have enough battery life to do that right now.

Anyway - in Guadalajara tonight. The Teacher (who was a friend visiting from the States) has returned home. The Student is off in another town an hour or so away visiting other friends. The Kid should be home in Oregon by now after two weeks with the paternal grandparents. As for me, I'm sitting in the hotel lobby - the only place with working wifi - uploading photos and catching up on email, as well as planning Part Deux of this sabbatical. (More Mexico, a bit of San Jose, a little blip of Chicago...)

Heading up to the room to pack soon and prepare for tomorrow. I'll take a bus around noon to Queretaro, where I'll spend Tues/Wed nights - yes, including my 40th birthday on Wednesday! Student will take a bus from where he's spending tonight and will arrive tomorrow late afternoon as well. No real plans, just a few more leisurely days before heading back to the States on Friday.

Really loving just wandering around Plaza Tapatia here in Guadalajara today - a coupel hours this morning, then more earlier this evening. This is where I first fell in love with Mexico, and you always remember that first hint of love, even as time passes and love changes, grows, deepens...

It's raining - we had a great thunderstorm earlier today, just light showers now, cooling off the hot city. It'll be good to head back east, where it's a little cooler than it is over here.

OK. Rambling. Must be bedtime. Go check out the Facebook photos from above. (I don't think you need to be on Facebook to see them, just to comment.)
