Day 10

Sweety,

I had plan to write to you from the airport in Mexico, as I was sure I would have a lot of free time. But Mexico city, modern on many points, has an airport a bit provincial. Anyways, no WIFI... So I am back, in one single piece. I am in a bit in a shock, and will need to be warmed and be convinced I should not have staid there.

I love staircases, and this museum had a very nice one

My last day in Mexico was as boring as I feared it would be. Had to leave the hotel for 11am, there was more than 9 hours to kill before my taxi brings me on my way home. I spend a lot of time sipping tea, walking around the areas I like the most. I even visit a small museum, Museo Nacional de San Carlos, located in a mini castle, or a large mansion. Their collection is mostly from Middle-Ages to XVIIIe century. A lot of painting from Spain, others from Europe and a bit of Mexican arts. Nice and calm, the place is beautiful and gives the space for daydreaming and wonders.

Now I am close to you, I will end this series of letters with a bit of sadness. I enjoyed writing to you, it made me think about my experience in Mexico, it was, at least for me, much more meaningful than postcards. More than the usual "nice sun, many tequilas, Think of you in the cold!" Unsurprisingly, I actually don't recall seeing postcards in any stores. Of course, I don't spend time in tourist's stores, but still. You usually find postcards everywhere, also in Museums ( it seems I visited a few of them!).

Dear reader(s), this is the end of my Mexican evasion, but it is the announcement of a new webzine that will take shape this spring. I will keep you posted, stay tuned.

I took a self-portrait in the same mirror Frida Kahlo used for hers.
What a mythical way to do a banal selfie....

With all my love,
