Summary of the weekend

On Friday the carpenters finally came round with all the bits and pieces they´d measured to repair our waterlogged kitchen panelling. It was all going great guns and I was ready to find out where the mice were hiding when they removed the oven. Turns out they were living in the fibre glass insulation material INSIDE the oven and had horded Atticus´s biscuits and FSM knows what else and it smelled rank. So we had a sterilise-the-oven session and i took a couple of photos of the carnage. I´m not posting them though, because it makes me queasy just thinking about it. After all that we needed a stiff drink so we went to the Famosos Equipales where Jana serenaded us with unique versions of Johnny Cash songs and we put the world to rights.

Saturday was Flickr Tour #7 to Tequila. And although the turnout was less than usual (9 of us) the planets aligned and along with the planned stuff (centre, museum, Columpio, Cofradia) we also stumbled upon a traditional dance presentation and saw people chucking agave piñas into a truck. Afterwards Mario recommended a beer and botanas place (you drink and the food comes along with it, tapas style, but less delicate) where we snacked, played pool and stuff. All me photos here, all photos from everyone here.

By Sunday I was knackered, but got a fair bit done on the chamba front despite my laptop being back in overheat-and-turn-off-with-no-warning-after-15-to-20-minutes mode. Luckily I have Ana´s slow, but reliable desktop as a back up… Sterilised the rest of the kitchen then went to see The Killers do their stuff at the spanking new Auditorio Telmex. We were up in the nosebleed seats, but they put on a good show. Basically songs from the first album were fantastic, and songs from the second were Springsteen.
