Classes started today - I'm taking Spanish here at Interidiomas

I need a plan: I'm two weeks plus travel and hotels into my money, and I haven't gotten a damned thing written.

Apparently, the systema mexicana goes Ask and thou shalt receive. Electricity was on and off at the hotel today, so I went out to the Jardin with a yellow pad and the wad of documents to write.

As I was writing, an ancient woman came and offered to wash my clothes.

I have to settle matters of living before I set to work. A couple drops of iodine

Today the screen doesn't bake

Water is a problem I will have to solve.

Arrived this afternoon via Autobuses del Norte. I write as sunset slants through a guava tree

I cannot rent this room, the concierge tells me.

I'll explain.

I'm in a hotel on Benito Juarez

I know why Earl kept my number. He wants me to buy a house.

The problem's not that I have no money or income. Earl can solve that. The trouble is the house is not for sale.
