Well, that's the reason why I am writing now: I can't sleep with all the noise that surrounds us.
The word "Welcome" is meant for our American friends who came all the way from Brooklyn to our wedding party. Yes, we are getting married... tomorrow!
I think I have just pointed out several reasons for my sleeplessness (is that a word?).
Let's go back and treat each thing as it deserves.
First of all "Welcome".
Welcome to Brigid, Mark, Ava and Margot. We are really happy to see you and share our apartment with you.
We are not used to having small kids in our lives, but it is so refreshing.
Welcome also to Nuria, Nas, Ceci and Nicolas. They come from Toronto.
Welcome to Gary, Naoki, Takumi and Takeru. They also come from Brooklyn.
And yes, Mexico City is noisy, and especially tonight: there is a lot of traffic, there are parties everywhere, there are drunk youngsters singing in the street, public works, and of course ambulances and police cars, and airplanes, and helicopters, and all the stuff you find in any modern, hectic, third world, huge city.
No, we did not cook today. We had pizza with our American friends at a restaurant.
Well, we made our usual kefir, our piloncillo melaza and some potatoes.
The kefir is worth mentioning: a special strawberry soy milk kefir. Not the best in the world but one that proves that kefir can be made with almost anything. The best I have eaten is still the one made with walnut soy milk. But that walnut soy milk was something like a special edition soy milk. What I have to try now is to mix walnut with my regular soy milk and see if I have the same result.
Noise is still going on (one a.m. in the moonless night).
Somebody is talking on the microphone in a school party, the subway works are starting, a plane is landing, an ambulance siren...
And all the excitement of our wedding party tomorrow. Will I be able to sleep?
