Today around lunch I went to a market to check things out. There was a food area and a girl asked if I wanted pescado (fish). That sounded pretty good so I sat down. I expected some sort of fish filet that I could put into a tortilla but I got a whole fish that was fried. The fish had it?s eyeballs, it?s many many teeth, it?s tail. And it was huge.

Other thoughts on Mexico: People make out *a lot* here. It?s hard to walk down the street and not see a couple making out.

Also, some of the sidewalks here are 3 feet off the ground. There are stairs. V. easy to fall off of.

My sleep last night was not great. My room had a window with no screen. I woke up in the middle of the night to these awful awful mosquitos that kept buzzing in my ear. Finally I shut the window, making the room an oven. The mosquitos took me back to my CQE days. I should probably get some ear plugs.

Tonight I?m taking an overnight bus to San Christobel de las Casas in Chiapas (v. close to Guatemala). If all goes as planned I?ll be staying there for a week.

Congratulations to Jennie Schachter. Can?t wait to "C" you.
