We finally got our car this morning. As we attempted to drive out of Mexico City the van stalled every few minutes. The traffic was so bad that it probably would have been faster to walk. Eventually we were forced to stop and find a mechanic in the town of Cojimalpa, which is really just another part of Mexico City. Right now the car is in the shop so we found a hotel. I’m trying to fall asleep but it is proving quite evasive as the baby screams and the trucks with engine brakes go roaring by, 20 feet from our window. The air is thin due to the altitude and full of carbon monoxide. I am struggling to breath, my throat is parched. The room is so cold that I am forced to share the blanket with Rob. Every now and then his feet will come across the bed and try to wiggle into the warmth under my body like two little wet mice. Hopefully we will be able to get out of here tomorrow but I’m not too hopeful about the car being done soon.
