MOVING OUT OF MEXICO CITY?

I came to work recently and found this on the street in front of my studio--a family next door was being evicted. For several days someone sat here protecting the goods, which gradually disappeared.
Mexico City has some of the most stringent laws protecting tenants from eviction--it can take years to evict a non-paying tenant--but evidently the landlord in this case persisted.

QUE BONITO ES...

It's been a grey, chilly Sunday in Mexico City, perfect for lolling around the house in pajamas with a good book. As we dropped our friend Vivian off after lunch, she shared with us one of her favorite Mexican dichos (sayings):

"Que bonito es hacer nada...y luego descansar."

(How beautiful it is to do nothing...and then to rest.)

Viva Mexico!
