hasta luego, mexico!

Very cool inside. No pictures allowed though, they said.

Cactuses pegged to the art museum

Lobo.

Giraffe!!!

This is the sadest rhinoseros I've ever seen. (Of the 2 I've seen in my lifetime...)

so...many...children...in...the...zoo

taking off tomorrow. i´m leaving tomorrow? at 5 i´ve got to catch the subway to the airport. will make more lucid and composed closing remarks later. just a quick rundown for tonight.

- went to frida´s house. beautiful art and touching coziness. her bed is there. her pots. her art. her collected things. wuite something.
- on the way back to subway met a mom and daughter pair from puebla. they were super nice to me, thinking that i was going to get horribly lost with my horrible spanish. gave me their address and invited me to visit them anytime. so nice!
- went to the zoo. some amazing collection of animals. super crowded! every child in mexico city must have been there! half of them all sitting around in blue t-shirts with a summer camp. the biggest summer camp in civilization, i swear. other kids with their families, tethered by leashes that the vendors are selling. never seen so many kids in all my life. a city of children.
- say museo de arte contemporario. kinda small and underwhelming after frida´s house.
- sat in cafeteria and read book. ate yummy torta de hawaiiano. and another dessert, this time of flan, chocolate cake, whipped cream, and frutas. i love dessert!

I now have 12 pesos to my name. Please let me get to the airport on my 2 pesos metro ticket! Have to be at the airport by 5am. i think i can swing 5:30. three hours ahead of a flight is a bit crazy.
