Back from the Dead (& Happy Birthday)

I have (mostly) recuperated from my illness and am at about 85% now, which is well enough to enjoy some sightseeing during my last weekend here. I can't believe how time flies. Seems like just the other day when I landed and got settled...

Some quick updates:
Threw a going away feast for myself here at the apartment last night. Really, it was more of a thank you to the kind friends who had taken me along for last weekend's rock climbing adventure. Had a lovely, albeit late evening. They seemed to enjoy the cauliflower tofu curry dish I made, although the highlight of the dinner was Mayte's homemade flan.




(for those following the blog, the two new faces on the left are Franco and Mayte, proud parents of soon-to-be eight-year-old Paco--fast asleep at this late hour. Leticia was supposed to come but she couldn't get out of work to make it.)

As for weekend plans, I am hoping to make it to the Bosque de Chapultepec (esp. the Museo de Antropología) & Teotihuacan (home of two large Aztec pyramids), while making sure I sneak in the US-Brazil final of the Confederations Cup on Sunday--would highly encourage this for all soccer and non-soccer fans alike.

And last (but certainly not least), warm birthday wishes to my Mom and brother who are each celebrating a birthday today! Talk to both of you tonight.
