Today Fernando,Tete,Ruben,Caro and I went to the nearby city of Texcoco to see Caro's sister Martha who resides at a nursing home and is doing very poorly.
With Mom in a nursing care facility at home I took a look at the situation that Martha is in and while the place is comfortable and the staff appear to treat the residents with the same care and attention as at Rivercrest there is no doubt that Mom lives in a palace in comparison. Martha is in a room with 2 others with no TV and only a small dresser beside her bed. I will guess there is 1/4 the staff.
Maru had most of her family there as well so it was nice to see Jose Luis (husband), Montserrat (daughter) and Monsi's kids. I was meeting the youngest two for the first time.
Before we left Texcoco the five of us went to a Oaxacan restaurant. Mmm,good food!
The late afternoon was spent back in Mexico City having coffee/tea at a famous coffee specialty cafe that also sells coffee by the kilo. Caro bought a few kilos to bring home.
