@eyderp @NPRWeekend The ubiquitous #CDMX view of #rotoplas plastic water tanks on top of every building has grown on me, I must admit. #cdmxlife

Live 🎤 from @eyderp office on our azotea in Mexico City today! Have to admit my favorite story on the show was about the woman behind “Se compra, colchones” - la voz de #CDMX @NPRWeekend

@CeliaCPerez This isn’t a joke, but my almost one year old’s first real word is “bird” which she says over and over at dawn (we sleep windows open) when the flittering begins. Bird is the word!

*DEEP BREATH* Spring break is over and #homeschool officially begins Wednesday. Parents who made fancy schedule charts last week: How’s it all working out? Anything you’re doing differently this week? (For the record, I’m terrible at monitoring my kids’ weekly progress at school)
