I'll keep doing posting these 'til someone complains.... (like *me* -- how 
long would it take to drive to Mexico from NY?  'Don't think what passes for 
mole up here compares to the mole GMC is enjoying!   :-)

 CHALULU/PUEBLO, MEXICO
 
 Okay, okay, Iīll admit it: I spent Thursday night partying at
 Club Med with the most gorgeous man on the planet. Eric is French,
 and he speaks Spanish and English and who cares what else. During
 the evening, I also had an informal job interview--donīt ask--during
 which I was posed a question I havenīt heard in a long time.
 "Are you sure youīre old enough to do this job?" Ha! I should
 have also offered up my weight and inseam. When I finally got
 "home," my Mexican family conducted a sobriety test at my bedroom
 door. I passed, in spite of muchas margaritas.
 
 The bedroom door, BTW, lacks a doorknob, as does almost every
 door in the house. They gave me a canvas briefcase loaded with
 bricks to hold the door closed. The problem is they have an inquisitive
 two-year-old, and Iīm also required to keep the door shut when
 Iīm *out* of the room. Iīve developed a contortionist technique
 that will come in handy if I ever decide to join the circus.
 
 Iīm still searching for new ways to eat the chocolate mole sauce.
 Last night I went to Ericīs French restaurant. It specializes
 in crepes, or "crepas" here. The funny Frenchman was shocked
 when I asked for a "crepa con mole." In retaliation, I think,
 I was served a Nutella crepe that was garnished with a silly
 fruit face. Then he ordered me a tequila flambe crepe for dessert.
 After we finished eating, he told me that Dominoes Pizza has
 a mole pizza. Hmmm...maybe before I leave...
 
 Now itīs back to the converted monastery for a weekend of archeological
 sites, volcanoes, museums, dinner at a trout farm--and laundry.
 Monday weīll be off for an intense week in Mexico City.
 
 Iīve been sleeping under stars for a week, and now I have a new
 pair of star earrings as a momento of this wonderful place. Did
 I mention that this is a very kissy country?...
