We are really getting used to living in this nice city except for the excessive heat. Usually just below 35 every afternoon, exhausting. We are certainly getting into the siesta spirit.
There is a huge street food market here. Many people seem to live on jobs selling food, gum, iced water on the street, in the subway trains, on the pedestrian malls. We have musicians on the metro cars with amps, singing, playing guitar, two guys one day with electric violins playing classical music. Everyone drops loose change in their collections, people applaud, it is really neat.
The climate here is mostly nice with cool nights and early days, when we fortunately don’t need A/C. Our balcony opens to a side street so we can enjoy the birds in the trees outside with our door open until the afternoon searing heat arrives.
After a main meal in the middle of the day it is hard to get interested in food again later and we pick up peaches and cherries from the street vendors to see us through, with gallons of water too.
