Día 7

Today I woke up pretty sick. I took a lot of meds and painkillers and tea, and felt good enough to leave the house before 6:30. So we left. We went to UNAM and Rubén enrolled in school. We also went to the neighborhood of Coyoacán, way downtown where Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky once lived. It was a nice place. There were a lot of fancy houses and restaurants, and a huge population of Criollos (Mexicans directly/mostly descended from conquistadores, or white spanish.) By the middle of the day, I felt much better.

  1. I am sure rest would help with the sickness. Is Coyoacan near the Rose District? I remember the plaza in the center of town and the Rose District and not much else. Are burritos in Mexico anything like the ones we have here?

    Thanks again for the post. I almost feel like I am there.
