I’ve had a few really long days.

9Am-noon: language classes

noon-2Pm: workout with personal trainer

2PM-3:30PM: lunch & relax for a second

4PM-7PM: work on archive at La Curtiduría

7PM-9PM: check emails & dissertation stuff at La Jícara

This is definitely not a vacation, but a seriously exhausting research trip, compounded by the fact that I’m doing field work this weekend in the Mixteca. I love everything that I’m doing, but I definitely need a cerveza at the end of the day (and some Mad Hombres streaming from Netflix).  I saw this random poster in the street and it’s kind of a humorous relief from all of the political mania happening in Oaxaca.
