Methinks Guy has way too much free time on his hands.

Had some more free time and bored of the cow safari, I found other things to shoot.
Badly named street in DF.
DF's Christmas tree, near the Torre Mayor. This tree burnt to the ground two years ago.

| I live on R�o Po/Poo. Both spellings can be found on street signs. I�ve found that when I need to give my address to local merchants, like the guy at the laundromat, they usually spell it in the malodorous variation. Guess they've never heard of the Italian river it's named for. Wonder if "poo" means anything in Mexican Spanish, or maybe in an indigenous language. |

Wish I could have gotten a picture of it, but there is SNOW on La Nevada mountain just outside of Toluca...an appropriately named mountain to be sure. I spent all this week up there shivering in the cold.
If you're coming to Toluca to work, bring your longjohns! Mind you, it's cold here in DF too... |

not sure what "poo" means. it maybe be slang. only word i could find was "popo" which means excrement. there is no "poo" in the nahautl langauge, except for "po" but this is actually a prefix referring to equality as in the word tinopo- mi igual. |
