1. The Artesanos del Dulce cafe only a few blocks from my house, and their wireless internet, cafe Americano and dark-chocolate cookies
2. The hot showers at my new gym. And, for that matter, my new gym. It’s at the Sheraton Hotel a few blocks from my house. It’s super nice and EMPTY. No guys in mesh tank tops doing tricep curls and kissing their guns. (Talking to YOU, Gold’s Gym Polanco.)
4. The fact that my husband and I are happy and healthy, and so are our parents and loved ones.
5. The “display case” outside this dentist’s office, which I always pass on my way to Artesanos del Dulce.
6. My new iPhone. It took two visits to the Telcel store and a personal reference, but I got it. Now I know why Americans don’t get Mexican cell phone plans.
Oh come now….surely you will miss the gotta-be-silicon-enhanced ladies of Gold’s Polanco…. like my favorite who had I think 4 piercings in each ear + 2-inch diameter gold hoops on as well as a heavy shellacking of makeup.
Well done on the phone, though. We went with the cheapest pay-as-you-go cell phone option & quickly discovered its “I may or may not ring when people call you” feature.
What’s a tricep curl?
Where is the Sheraton? I’m trying to find options other than Gold’s Gym as well…it’s a little far for me to walk from Moliere.
