As a special treat, I'm attaching a Top 10 'Things to Get Used To in Mexico' List:
#10 - Expecting any banking operation to take a minimum of one hour and all results to be disappointing.
#9 - 8:00 a.m. weekend wake up call to some guy screaming "GASSSSSSSS" outside the window
#8 - No toilet seats/toilet paper (or having to pay for them) in some public bathrooms!! Nice and cozy when you need to drop a deuce...
#7 - Cramming into a beat up 1970's 'Pesero' VW bus with no doors, with 10 other Mexicans and 2+ million vehicle traffic
#6- Montezuma's revenge.
#5 - Cold showers when not listening to #9 above and refilling the tank
#4 - No pepper at restaurants, even upon request
#3 - People telling you the wrong directions to a location even if they're not sure just to be 'nice' and not look like they don't know.
#2 - Having to hunt mosquitoes in the middle of winter
#1 - Delicious tacos any hour of the day!!!!!!
Mucho Amor!
Que cool! Good workout on the stairs!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo ! Tushies are getting in good shape. What a way to work off those tacos.
ReplyDeleteAhh, What young love will endure, together.

ReplyDeleteWhat happens if you stand together at the top of that staircase and reflect it in a mirror held in a hand placed above the top of your heads?
Sounds like the screaming guy in #9 has a gut wrenching case of #6.
The same thing in #3 happened to me in Spain. Hope it doesn't seem like name-dropping or pretentious for me to say so.
I'm insecure of coming across that way, you know.
Feliz Anyo, Young Lovers. Should have made a reality show "Olivia and Joshie in Mexico."

ReplyDeleteOK. I went to sleep after responding above. But something wasn't feeling right. Woke up. Let me ask again. What if one of you stood at the bottom of the circular stairwell with a mirror in your hand at chest level aiming up? And one of you stood at the top of the stairwell with a mirror in your hand above your head aiming down? Could you manage to create an infinite winding image of the circular stairwell within the two mirrors held in such a way that each of you could see the image in your respective mirror? That's it. I'm constructing this instinctively, intuitively, not being there first-hand to set up this visual experiment. You following me Joshua? It is a matter of physics? Optics? Geometry? I believe you see where I am feeling my way along here. OK. That's it. I'll leave it to you all to try it out if you wish. Goodnight. I'm going back to sleep.

ReplyDeleteHmmmm. Just about time for a new posting, perhaps . . .
