In addition to enjoying the architecture, plazas, statues, and shops, it was great to check out a few of the coffee shops, the bagel cafe (YAY!), and the local produce markets. My favorite find, however, was the store La Europea - they specialize in importing wine and food from Europe! My dissertation writing just got a lot more civilized! :)
The house where I'll be staying is a 15 minute walk from the town center. It's all cobblestone streets and local stores, and actually feels a little bit like the walk from my apartment in Oaxaca to the Institute...with less traffic and more hills.
I know I need to write more about the wrap-up/overall experience of the Institute, but will save that until next time. More soon!

Was that a castle or a church? (You probably know what shot I'm talking about.)
Speaking of which, what do you do for church in Mexico? Have you been to any services? (You've probably been too busy, heh?)
How are you liking War and Peace? I bought it awhile back but am a little intimidated by it.
