A haphazard chronicle of my inevitable misadventures during a year in Vietnam and points east.

Day 8 - Part 1 - SUNRISE!!!!!

Saturday morning I did something highly out of character. I woke up early and rather than roll over and dream of chiles, I got up to see the sun rise over La Malinche. Yes, the sunrise. The rise of the sun! The beginning of the day! A daily miracle previously unknown to me!

I went outside hoping it would rise already and be done with it so I could get back under the covers. It was damned cold out there, and I don't really believe in suffering for a photo. I'm not much of a sufferer in general, really. Anyway, I'm posting this photo because I was out there for a half hour freezing my ass off. It was so cold I couldn't even write -- I simply huddled geriatrically, wishing I had had the sense to wear socks, and wondered if anyone had ever contracted frostbite in Mexico. You people damned well better appreciate the pain I go through for you.
