The way to Santa Fe..

If you're like me; the bus to Santa Fe usually means clenching your eyes shut and going to your happy place because there is an elderly gentleman wearing a midriff tank top trying to use the buses every motion as an excuse to subtly touch your boob. If one day you feel like you can brave the open-eyed bus experience, this is what you'll see.

Rower in Cuemanco

This is someone I saw rowing past when I was on one of the canals in Mexico City. Every other time I've been to the canals I've been to Xochimilco, there they're narrow and completely congested; in a fun way. People take Hi Fi's and picnics and boats go past selling beer with chilli, salt, lime and lollipops. Cuemanco was completely different. Really quiet and calm.. there was a boat selling coffee instead.

Banana Pancakes.

My friend Pen taught me how to make these a few weeks ago and I've made them loads since then.
In a blender put;1.5 mugs of flour, 1.5 mugs of soy milk and 2 brown bananas (or about 5 of these mini ones I bought at the traffic lights).

Blend, fry with some oil et voila!

Casual Jesus on the bus back from class in Bosques de las Lomas.

Most of the buses I get on here have a giant crucifix on the dashboard and a huge Jesus sticker on the glass behind the driver. This one was particularly graphic and bleedy. A lot of the time there's also a Saint Jude lurking somewhere; he's the patron saint of hopeless causes so if you see him, you know your driver is a badass. On the 28th of every month near to Metro Station 'Hidalgo' hundreds of people of all ages flock to church to get their blinged up statues blessed. Around the church you can buy wristbands, bags and personalised St Jude T-shirts. You can even get temporary tattoos; last time I saw a baby with one on it's face.
