Ay, chihuahua! (They really say that) It's so dusty today. Walking around the block, you get grit in the corners of your eyes. There is a visible dust cloud hovering over town. Makes breathing unpleasant, because I bet it traps the vehicle/maquiladora pollution. And I could swear that my laptop -- which hasn't left the hotel room since we arrived -- has dust on the keyboard. It must be coming in through the a/c, since I wash my hands often (TRAVEL TIP), a good way for gringos to avoid getting sick. Can you tell that the air quality here is freaking us out more than a little?

But other than that the weather is great. The low temp last night was in the mid-50s (F), so this morning was nice and freezing cold. Highs this week are supposed to be in the mid-80s (F). No humidity anywhere in the forecast.

I'm thinking you'll be wishing for those "freezing-cold" 50s sometime around next June.
