Ok, now taking things at the pace of Mexico. Coffee, email, and today pancakes at home. Yesterday we went out to have breakfast, looked for a cheap buffet we saw the day before, but hit a place recommended by some Gringo women we met walking into town. Called the "Bien Cafe", it was nice but not "Mexican"enough for us. The "Popeye" omelet for me and huevos for Mojito. Then walked and walked, looking in shops that looked interesting and there are lots of them. Hit the art institute and stared at the huge murals. Getting real hungry so found a fruit cup vendor. They are a institution it seems where ever we go in Mexico. Covered in lime juice and hot pepper and sometime salt it's cool and crunchy depending on what's in them. Also found fresh tortilla's sold out of door front shop, yum, warm. Constance bought a couple of shopping bags, one with Freita Kallo's picture on it, the other a "dia de las muertos" image on the street of artisans.
We really got our stair master workout. Our calf's are going to be all muscle soon.
Wednesday, off to "La Gruta" hot springs just outside of town. One pool, the hottest is in a rock domed room that you take a tunnel about 50 feet long in the water to get to. Every hour or so, a shower starts out a large pipe feeding fresh hot water into the system of three pools. We needed this, as it seemed we needed a warm up. Met lots of nice people there, some that spoke some English, some that didn't but it sure doesn't stop the conversation.
