If you're even remotely interested in cars, you should definitely keep reading this post. Today we went to the Mastretta plant, Mexico's first sportcar manufacturer that opened only 2 or so years ago. It's so new that they only produce about 100 cars per year, making them a pretty hot commodity. We didn't get to go to the plant last year, so having the opportunity to visit was very exciting. The MXR that is featured in most of my pictures slightly resembles a Lamborghini, which makes sense considering this manufacturer stemmed from Italian carmaking. This zippy orange car runs at about $33,000, which is pretty insane considering how beautiful it is! I went a little crazy with the picture taking, but you would too if you had the chance! Sitting in it was pretty awesome, and it made me happy I know how to drive a stick shift. Jaja :) I might just have to get myself one of these hot rods some day!
Jealous yet? :)
Today I also got a hold of a book (thanks to Doctora) that I've heard nothing but great things about! Cien años de soledad (One Hundred Years of Solitude -- heard of it?) is one of Mexico's most famous novels. It's been translated into numerous languages, so I figure it's gotta be pretty good. I was super excited because I've been looking for a good book written in Spanish, so I'm hoping I can understand most of it... This particular copy is pretty old, but I like the fact that it has some wear and tear because it gives it an "antique" feel, which I like for some reason. Roxanne also mentioned buying an old Spanish Bible from this cute little librería near the school, an idea which I might have to steal, jaja.
