Crepes and Swingers
Week One
It´s been one week exactly since I landed in this mexican metropolis and I am already quite proud of myself. Amongst the smallest achievements of making it from A to B without being mugged, hassled, or without asking 10 people how to get there (actually people here have been extremely friendly), I am happy to announce that I have cooked Crepes for my flatmates. I am not sure if it was Valentine´s day that brought it on or just wanting to do something "french" and impress everyone (hehehe!). Or maybe I just wanted to celebrate and have a "welcome to me" party.
In the end we were 8 people to devoure the fruit flavoured (with maple syrup!) crepes, including my flatmates and Claire´s colleagues from the school (she´s an english teacher in an english school doh!). It was a fun evening where thanks to increasing amounts of wine, conversation quickly veered onto the topic of Valentine´s day, mexican men and how they can´t stop themselves from cheating on their partners, and swingers club. All in a night´s work.
On a different note, I thought you might like to see what my neighborhood looks like so I have posted a few pictures (taken on my way to work in the morning) and a few during the weekend, which is market day .
