Birthday Girl

This is Andrea. She turned two on Saturday. She's not too sure about this crawling doll with the Exorcist head.

Elena Poniatowska Comes to Juchitán

I know the picture's bad. This was close as I could get without some stout Juchitecta hip-checking me to the side. Went to hear Elena Poniatowska last night. She's a really big name in Mexican literature and I hope the non- lit people will forgive me for geeking out a bit. She seemed really cool. I want to be her. I'm going to put become Polish princess escaped from Nazis turned Mexican novelist/human rights activist married to an astrophysicist on my to-do list as we speak. Of course the conflict between the state and the teacher's union strike came up, but nobody got too rowdy. Yay, Culture!
