Mariana Yampolsky

27 10 2005

Spent a day wandering through Centro Historico on our way to see an exhibition by Mariana Yampolsky. She was a famous photographer who came from the US at an early age, and decided she liked Mexico so much she stayed here permanently. Or something like that. The museum was a pretty cool example of colonial architecture, which was just as interesting.





My Birthday

20 10 2005

It’s my birthday!! Got a free pressies….one person kindly used my Gift’s Page to deposit some money in my account (ta Ma!) and I got a 3D Jigsaw puzzle of Big Ben, which proved entertaining to make and is now a nice ornament above the telly.

Otherwise, the day was pleasant enough. Had a nice meal in one of my favourite restaurants near Paola’s dad’s home with her family. At the weekend we went off to Xochimilco with one of Paola’s friends and her other half for a few leisurely hours in a boat going round the canals. Found a nice place to eat in a small town just outside the city.

Otherwise, life is mucho work at the moment!
