Vacation

I'm leaving tonight to spend an extended Labor Day weekend in Mexico City, the third largest city in the world (i.e., a rural hamlet).
Other than trips to my parents in Las Vegas or weekends with friends, this is my first real vacation since after I took the bar exam in February 2004. The reason, of course, was Diamond, whom I adopted right after that. I've been reluctant tokennel board her for extended periods given her timid personality, but after 18 months or so of doggy day care and short stays in the kennel doggy resort, I think she's ready for longer stays.
Diamond and I were thrown a curve ball, however, when herkennel doggy hotel went out of business just two weeks ago. So we're starting from scratch with a new kennel doggy gym. This place looks very nice. I took Diamond there for a sniff around last week. I hope five days doesn't traumatize her.
I booked this trip to Mexico a long time ago, I think because of the poor dollar/euro exchange rate at the time. I'm very eager to see the pyramids, although I'm sure I'll have to endure some lectures about how the Aztecs weren't really bloodthirsty savages who engaged in ritual human sacrifice and cannibalism.

I got to see the magnificent Ballet Folklórico de México about 20 years ago. I just learned that they perform regularly at the Fine Arts Palace just a few blocks from my hotel. I can't wait to see them again.
Anyway, blogging will be light, except for photoblogging. I have a few prepackaged posts that I will run, but that will likely be it.
Regular blogging will resume Wednesday.
Happy Labor Day everyone.!
