That was a whole lotta time in that mask since we left Edmonton, my goodness. I'm happy to be able to spend some time with my face "commando". That said, though, people here take their mask wearing very seriously. Most people on the street, and in establishments, are wearing masks. We've taken to wearing masks while out as well. I guess it's going to be a very mask-y time.

We left Vancouver at about 11:30 last night and flew to Mexico City. The worst thing was that someone had brought an infant with very healthy lungs on the trip, and the infant was NOT happy. It spent the whole night shaking the walls of the airplane cabin with its wails. Poor little devil. And poor me trying to sleep through it. Ugh. Thankfully, the wails weren't enough to down the plane, which, incidentally was a MAX-8. I probably wouldn't have chosen to fly on one of those but... que sera sera, and we made it alive.

Our original plans were to fly down with a different airline, arriving on Saturday, not Friday. Thankfully our AirBnB had a room available on the same property for one night. Not the SAME room, but *shrug* hey, at least on the same property. So, we arrived today about 11AM, but check-in wasn't until 2PM. We had to hang out in my "office" (aka the roof-top lounge) until the room was ready. Tomorrow we'll have to check out of that room at 11AM and hang out in my "office" again until we're able to check into our "permanent" room. I am SO happy to be here.
After we got minimally settled in, we went walk-about in town, ate some local gorditas (hopefully they won't trigger a Montezuma's revenge like the time Brent and I ate local in Zihuatanejo). They were delicious! I hope they're as happy to be in us, as we are to have them in us... time will tell...

It is an AMAZING 23C here today, and that's about what it's going to be every day that we're here. I am so happy that it's not sweltering. When Brent and I last went to Mexico, we went to Zihuatanejo, and it was about 30C every day. We suffered for close to five days before we were acclimated enough to move around. I think this suits me much much better.

I got my computer all set up to work this afternoon. It had some kind of a hard drive error, so I was a little concerned for a while there, but two reboots seem to have brought it back up and it's working fine now. I'm hopeful that I will be able to work well from here. What an awesome life.
