| We have not seen a single mosquito here. Not. A. One. If this trend continues, then Queretaro is definitely my new favorite place on planet earth. | |
| I've been working since we got here, and proven that my technology, and my brain, will cooperate with the whole idea. Today was the first business day, though that I really worked, and it went fine. I worked in the wee hours, like I normally do, and I had some meetings during business hours, like I normally do, and everything just worked. Yay! | |
| While I worked today, Brent ran some errands, including picking us up some rechargeable Qrobus passes. The local transit busses can only be used with one of these passes - they won't take cash. I had read a four-year-old blog that said you could buy the passes at most OXXO or Mini Super stores at self-serve kiosks, but we looked all over yesterday and not a single store had a kiosk. The Qrobus headquarters is only open on weekdays, so this morning, Brent went out and scored us a couple of passes. We'll have an adventure in city transit very soon! |
