Feeling gray

By one of our ancestors!

It's been a long week. I am still not sleeping well, and the weather keeps changing.


Today it is raining, no, downpouring. It is not chilly at all, but the temperature is dipping since we just got hit by a cold front. I was hoping for sun this weekend, but no such luck.


This week we decided to take a day trip sans boys (only baby) to the museum of anthropology. I had already forgotten how amazing the MAX is in every way. The collection is wonderful, not too huge, but really nicely displayed and very complete. Mostly focused on the State of Veracruz and it's precolumbian inhabitants, it is a reminder of the thousands of years of history we walk on every day!


Then the building... I think I could just live in that jewel. It won, once upon a time, architecture prizes for an outstanding design. It is not only beautiful in it's lines, materials and details, but it also boasts one of the best regional/site concious designs I have ever seen. Wish more Mexican architects learnt to do architecture as great as this museum and not the obscenely grotesque blocks of concrete that are no more than self glorification of their own ignorance of place and people...


Back to the museum. It was a great day to visit since it was pretty much empty and we had the spaces all for ourselves. One of the greatests highlight is going around the gardens, both interior and exterior, with their amazing array of plants from the region. And the book store is unique in itself with a wonderful collection of Art books and music.


Now, after a wonderful trip a couple of days ago, it all seems far and distant... I think the fatigue is making me grumpy and I really hate it. Hope the weekend is not too soggy since we should start our Day of the Dead shopping. It is my very favorite Holiday and it is also a very special B'day... Incredibly, one year has gone by!
