I hate Monday's

Not much really happened on Monday. Amelia and I did a bit of shopping in a local women artists co-op. Actually I spent a lot of money. A least I am helping support another artist. I got a couple nice shirts and some jewelry for Amelia, and some very cute clothing for Harley and Tristin.

The afternoon was uneventful with a bit of rest. Then we went out with some of the SDSU crowd where I was the only guy. We went to a swanky hotel overlooking the city. It is called Hotel Victoria and is really nice. A great view. After several drinks and a 10 pound platter of meeat and cheese, we hopped a taxi to a local dive bar called La Divina, near the Santo Domingo church. This place was really gross. It was hot and sweaty and filled with 20 year old gringos who are allowed to drink here. They also split by midnight. My guess is they have a curfew. Needing to use the bathroom, I went towards the back of the place where it smelled like urine, where I found the mens room. Inside there weren't any urinals, but a piss trough. Gross. I got out of there as fast as I could. Luckily I was the only one in there because I was wearing my new sandals that I bought earlier in the day. Yuck!!! Then around 1am we headed home.

I slept great until the thumping music started. Apparently there is a work crew doing a new home about 50 feet away and they started their day with some Mexican rap music. Not so good at 8pm let alone 8am. Oh well. I'm living it baby!

Today we haven't done much. We did a little grocery shopping and we also bought movie tickets for the new Batman movie that opens tomorrow. A large group is going and should be fun.
I also just did a couple of portraits on the rooftop veranda of our favorite coffee shop, Lilian's. The two female employees were very happy to get in front of my Hassselblad. Next is the owner, but she left early today. She is a very attractive woman who wears very short skirts. EVERYDAY. Maybe next time.

Tonight, Amelia and I are dining alone. We are trying a new place (for us) called La Olla. It has very good rating. Then maybe a drink somewhere. I can't believe she leaves in 48 hours. I am bummed. Oaxaca won't be the same.
