Trabaho en Mexico

Greetings readers...

Our heroine has been quite lax in keeping up with the blog, but she is travelling now. And faithful readers know... when HGirl travels there is drama...

So HGirl is in Mexico City for a PAHO meeting. Today is her last full day, and the shit hit the fan. After the meeting finished, HGirl wanted to go to the Anthropology Museum. So she gets cash at the ATM and hops in a taxi. She buys her museum ticket and gets one of the listening devices and realizes her check card is missing. She left it in the ATM (it wasn't a swiper).

So HGirl jumped in another taxi and went all the way back to the bank. Of course, she doesn't speak Spanish, so it took about 30 minutes to for the bank employees to figure out that the machine didn't eat the card and for them to tell HGirl no one turned in a card. So she goes back to the hotel, calls the bank and reports the card missing. Luckily no one tried to use it.

So then she gets in another cab and goes back to the museum. Totally worth the trip, by the way. As she gets ready to leave, it starts raining. This was not a drizzle, but a deluge... a few gallons more and she would have called for an ark not a taxi. And the rain didn't let up after 20 minutes, so she bit the bullet and left the museum to find a cab to the Hard Rock (not to eat mind you, but to get souvenirs for the family). Note to self: don't walk in the rain in a white printed rayon shirt. Let's just say Mexico saw parts of HGirl that they shouldn't have.
