While here, I am going to post all the things that take too long to upload in Oaxaca and there is some good stuff, so stay tuned. It does crack me up that it takes just a sec to upload pics while a mi casa oaxaequeña, it takes minutes. Great to be here in the Athens of America. Boston is such a great city. And simultaneously, it makes me appreciate Oaxaca all the more. The best of both worlds... make that, the best of all worlds.

The "Hub of the Universe" doncha' know (phhttt)! Having just returned from my first visit in a long time (a 40th class reunion), it was hard not to fall back in love with the city of my gloriously wasted 'yuf'. After decades of being based in southern California, my blood has thinned. Now I am a sissy when it comes to the cold of the US northeast. Brrrrrrrrrr....
It is interesting how you experience the expected direction of the technical infrastructure between your ancient and contemporary worlds. My alternate universe in central Paris, admittedly of the first world if the structures are centuries old, delivers internet at a speed and cost that Verizon couldn't dream of here in Los Angeles.
Ir may be the Hub of the Universe, but I am the Center of the Universe. I just let everyone else think that they are.
Yes, it is a bit brisk here compared to Oaxaca. My blood is thinning as well and I feel the cold more than before. I always like to come up in mid-winter to get a taste of real cold.
I know that the US is much slower that other parts of the world... uh, of course, I'm talking internet speeds. Oh, to be in Europe or the Far East. Actually, I have gotten quite used to slow speeds. It a fair trade off for everything else.
