I miss American toilets...

So far, the paloma (tequila, lemon soda and lime juice) is an improvement on this hotel's margarita. Thank goodness. We had some of a Corona Familia, a 40-ounce beer, last night. Maybe familia means, "for the whole family to enjoy"?

We saw our first Volvo-destroying pothole the other day on the biggest road in town. It was not wide, but so deep that an SUV hitting it at 30+ miles per hour would have also lost a wheel. Now I'm glad we didn't bring a nimbler, little car.

The dust isn't as bad today. Perhaps it's less windy. However, now that the rain from last week's storm has completely dried, a distinct sewage smell has crept into the neighborhood. It is also emanating from our friends' toilet and shower...
