heading back to hogtown

I will be back at work on Wednesday, with a 7:20 am flight out of Merida on Tuesday. I am sure Oliver is ready for his mom to come back home.

You know that they are ready for you to leave when the maid stops by to get her propina (tip) before you go. They almost couldn´t get the American Express machine to work so that would have been interesting, to try to get UF to reimburse me.

Last night we went to eat at Alberto´s, which is probably one of the best restaurants in Merida. I have always meant to eat here but never made it! What´s interesting to me about Alberto´s is that it is a Lebanese restaurant. Merida has a sizable Lebanese population who moved here at the beginning of the 20th century. Even though I am not a huge fan of middle Eastern food, the meal was very good.

I went into a store with Mark last night to buy a man purse for a certain Joshua who works in my office. (yes, haze him about it.) and Mark goes into the verbal prison with some dude and I end up buying more purses. also a surprise, right?
