On the plane, I sat next a very nice Irish gentleman. He lives in Chicago but is traveling to Mexico City on business. We talked quite a bit, which was enjoyable. In the airport I have had several successful exchanges with native speakers in which I understood probably 50% or more of what the other person was saying, which was good enough to get the job done, especially with gestures and body language helping.
At the airport I used my phone card to call Mark Weathers to let him know that I arrived safely. He told me that some friends of his family were going to visit some famous ruins outside of Oaxaca and that I would be welcome to join them. I know I will be very tired, but I figure I can sleep anytime; I don't want to miss an opportunity like that!
Well, that's all for now. I'll write again when I am safely in Oaxaca.
