Birgit and I visited the city of Zacatecas this weekend (really just yesterday and today).

Very cool.

So I came home and read this and thought about a few small things.

I saw a newspaper headline this weekend which said, in big bold type, "barbarism!" (guess what it was about). I saw some people having a tiny anti war rally which included a poster of a US flag crossed out and bleeding. An old dude at one of the museums talked a little bit about the war with us.

By the way: I was German this weekend, in case anyone asked.
