Venganza

Most surreal moment yet: Me, in the bathroom of a very nice touristy restaurant suffering from the venganza while mariachis played a rousing rendition of REM’s “Losing My Religion.”

Well, the venganza could be much worse, and papaya enzymes seem to be doing the trick. After a week here I am falling into the rhythm more, and the comfort level is rising. One interesting study is the buses (camiones) that we take to and from school each day and trends observed:

1. Drivers love fur.  Pink, white, or leopard around all the mirrors and obtruding objects on the bus.

2. There’s normally a picture of a Jesus, prayer, or the Virgin of Guadalupe on the plastic screen behind the driver however one driver has the Playboy bunny instead.

3.  There are often stickers from all over the world.  One I road on today had put stickers of tadpoles/sperm everywhere on the bus to spice it up.

4.  Love the black lights at night.  Particularly the blue and azul ones.
