Feb. 14. Switching to dates. Have completely lost track of days in Oaxaca. I think that's a good thing. I hope that's a good thing.
Cristina came back from her morning run with a huge, helium-filled Valentine's Day balloon for me. Quite the surprise! I had planned to buy her something nice, but the damn jeweler was closed on Valentine's Day. What kind of a jeweler is closed on Valentine's Day?
He has remained closed the next 3-4 days, so I'm trailing far behind Cristina in the gift-giving department.
My brother Gary arrived in mid afternoon, and we took him to an outdoor, balcony restaurant overlooking the Zocolo, with nice views of an orchestra and some dancers below.
