It's 5:20 on Saturday morning, and I am reminded that my brother has pointed out that, having told people that this blog exists, I now have to actually post things. I've been up for an hour already, which brings me to a grand total of about 3 hours of sleep (espero que podre dormir en el vuelo).
I depart from Kennedy at 9:00. At least the first part of this trip involves staying with a family in Oaxaca (the city, capital of the state). I know very little about them, other than that I am being retrieved from the airport at 6:00 this evening by "La Senora Ruth." Which makes me wonder if they might be Jews, a possibility of some interest to me. I know also very little (do I detect a theme?) about Mexican Jews. What I do know is that they tend to be inordinately white, wealthy, and overrepresented in government, and I'm not sure how accurate this impression is. Oh, and also that they tend to be northern (i.e. not Oaxaqueno). Someone know more than me that would care to educate?
I expect to have internet access again by Monday morning, 1/14. Until then...

Yes, your brother is right! Since you have a blog, you need to write in it. Looking forward to following you on this journey.
Is that true about the Mexican Jews? Sounds like what people in other parts of the world say about US jews - that we run the country, that is.
