Sunday sunshine

Although yesterday it was unusually cold in the morning, finally the sun came out in the afternoon as we were over for a delicious 5 hour lunch at Julie and Jonathan's place!!!! And it stayed out all day today, too. These are the first sunny days since we arrived, so we decided to enjoy it but also to take it easy because James is still not so well, although he is on his way to recovery (had to leave lunch early because he still can't eat or drink except broth).

The last few weekends they had this amazing flower and plant market on Avenida de  La Reforma right between Diana and San Angel which is very close to us. So after a coffee and an hour of work in the Starbucks next to the US embassy (which, by the way, is almost reasonably priced here since people cannot afford US prices), we decided to take a walk and choose a plant that will be ours during our stay here. The variety was amazing... now I understand why Julie is so into plants. They had a hundred different kinds of flowers in incredible colors and shapes and the same is true to the green plants too. We liked so many that in the end we bought a big one (don't ask me its name), a smaller pink one (found it on the web and it's called "pink splash/polka dot" plant) and two cacti since James really liked them...Altogether we spent a whole $9 (90 pesos)! 

So we have sunshine and plants now, we are just waiting for James' health to be back, and everything will be perfect!

PS: On such beautiful days even hand washing is easier on the roof in the specially placed stone basin and washboard...
