Soy Torpe

The first thought that came to mind when giving this post a title was "I'm clumsy." I am not exaggerating when I say that I tripped up stairs at the metro station 3 times today and nearly fell several more times on the sidewalk. Great day to wear a skirt. Además, someone stepped on the back of my shoe which caused it to break while crossing the street, so that was eventful... Despite my clumsiness, however, the day was very fun and even a little adventurous. Emnet, Drew, and I went in search of bags again to give to the students and FINALLY found them after wandering around the city for a while. Today was also the group's first taste of riding the metro, something which never fails to be an experience. So... we took the metro to el zócalo (the town square) to visit El Museo de la Medicina for presentations, only to find that it was closed for Mother's Day. (The U.S. and México celebrate it a few days apart, and nearly everything closes: schools, stores, MUSEUMS....) We decided to improvise and have the presentations in the middle of the zócalo, and they turned out very well. Afterward, we went to a fancy terrace restaurant called Las Sirenas where we dropped quite a few pesos... but it was muy sabroso and nice that we could look over el zócalo during lunch. Took the metro home, stopped for SUPER good ice cream, and Travis came over to our apartment to get his computer, which turned into a 5-hour conversation... jaja. Overall, it was a good day! Pues, despite my clumsiness. :)
