Can anyone remember the movie 'Signs'?

Went to Frank and Ania's cabin on Saturday. 1,800 metres up in the mountains near El Pico. Just as well DD has a Jeep: you never in your life saw such a road up to it! A pretty rough existence for the people living along it. Nothing for miles. They all seem to have their livestock,donkeys, cows, pigs, goats, sheep and all sorts of fowl, and a bit of land so I assume they must be quite self sufficient.
We had a good old time collecting firewood (reminded me of Castle Archdale) then walked down through Frank's pine forest to the river (and back up again - it was soooo steep). It was just like home: complete with a little drizzle. The only thing was...... it was only 10 metres from a stand of maize. Every time the wind rustled the corn I headed indoors. And unfortunately we couldn't find any tin foil to put on our heads! If the dogs hadn't been with us I would'nt have slept a wink.
I'm now in Mexico City (D.F.) with Betty. Visited UNAM today:- Universidad Nacional Automona de Mexico - it has the largest enrolment of any university in the Americas and is a World Heritage site. It was built in the 1950s and must have been super modern at the time. Fabulous murals by the best 20th century Mexican muralists: Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Sigueiros and, my special favourite. Juan O'Gorman. Saw one of his murals in Chapultepec Castle the first time I was here: an obvious Irish connection somewhere along the line.
We're going to Taxco tomorrow to, hopefully, do some jewellery shopping. We're staying overnight and coming back to D.F. on Thursday. On Saturday BB goes back to Cordoba and I'm travelling up to Santiago de Queretaro, another World Heritage Site, by myself for nearly a week. Queretaro state is where the wonderful Mexican fire opals are mined. Looking forward to it - will keep you all posted. x
