That is "Good Afternoon" in Spanish, FYI. Just showing off my stellar Spanish skills ;)
So this afternoon Corey and I accomplished a major feat! We picked up a rental car this afternoon, and got ourselves to Best Buy and home to our apartment all by ourselves! You'd have to see examples of the driving in Mexico City and how the roads all do NOT make sense to say the least! Needless to say, we are pretty pleased with ourselves!
As for the short tip about life in Mexico, today we have two!
1. Everything moves at it's own, SLOW pace! You can try to email and ask for things to get done, but it won't get done until you call and call and borderline harass people to accomplish things. (This tip comes from Corey :) )
2. Almost all surfaces meant for comfort (beds, couches, chairs, etc) are NOT. We encountered this first on our look-see trip, when we got to our hotel room and laid down on the bed for the first time. Honestly...like a brick. Couches, other mattresses we've found, etc are all like a ton of bricks. Disappointing. We get our furniture sometime in the next month hopefully, but in the meantime there was a mattress left here at the apartment by the previous owner, and as we were moving it up to our room it seemed soft and comfortable! We were excited, as we were exhausted and had been up since 3am that morning. We both plop down, ready to be enveloped in softness, and are met with a stiff unforgiving wall that again feels like...a bunch of bricks. We can't WAIT until our things arrive! I haven't yet figured out what this trend in having uncomfortable sleeping arrangements is all about, but I keep wondering if the locals have better posture than us Americans...I usually forget to notice, my theory is because I am so tired :)
All right, sorry this was such a LONG short tip, but I felt it necessary to share. For those of you who are thinking about visiting us, you will rest comfortably on one of the two mattresses that we are shipping down, so rest easy!
Sleep well and Sweet Dreams!
