I'm not sure how you managed to leave Mexico and its beautiful food and culture, but I'm glad you're back. Juan Carlos, I agree, but we've captured the essence of summer at the Esmont Post Office. Bri, thank you, the literary and pop-culture allusions tend to fly thickly here at kthread. I'm enjoying your blog--- Ben, I'm so grateful you continue to help me spin...

Ben, I’m so grateful you continue to help me spin…

We were both big fans, too, of the elotes served at street vendors—not nearly as pretty as the one you show here, but the same idea and, of course, delicious. There's a glut of pictures at <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/faith-harden/sets/72157601346676580/" rel="nofollow">F's flickr site</a>, with foodie action at the end. Hope to see you again soon, S.

Another current phenomenon -not too enjoyable in my opinion- is that the city gets filled with thousands of undergraduate students. Awesome post!

I love the tomato picture you put on Tastespotting. The colors are so perfectly captured. I must say, I'm delighted at the combination of food (my favorite thing) and A Wrinkle in Time (my fave book as a kid). Thanks! What an interesting story you weave in this post.

It's as if she's holding your glorious universe together. Of course, I can't help but compare her to you, threading your needle through exquisite sounds, colors, tastes and eccentricities to produce a tapestry of life lived well.
