I’m back in Oakland. I got back late late last night, after a very long travel day. We weren’t able to check in online at the hotel (nevermind that the hotel computer had one of those whacked-out non-US keyboards where the backslash character is Control-Alt-Shift-Start-Caps Lock or something) and we left early to get to the airport, expecting some giant snafu involving visas or whatever. Turns out there were absolutely zero people at the Zihua airport, and we got in quick and then had three hours to kill. We then had a puddle-jumper to Mexico City, where we then had another four hours to kill. Then the flight, then customs, then waiting for luggage, then the skytrain to the car, then a drive from SFO to home. The door to door time was fifteen hours.
I took the day off for sanity purposes, which was good. It also meant I got to drive back to my old neighborhood of South San Francisco to see the dentist, get some x-rays and see how the Mexican dental procedure held up. He said it’s fine for now, but I’ll need a new crown in the long run.
I posted photos here although I have not sorted/tagged/captioned anything. If you see something and want to know the story, holler.
