I post one to three times a week on days when I have some available time and a usable signal. Night buses get nothing. Arrival days get less. Café wifi is a peso and a sit.
It is . Phone at the café a walking day, café wifi, an unhurried hour. 2 posts.

Three pairs of socks still folded the way the woman at the mercado stall left them. Forty pesos for all three. I ate tamales on the way back to the guesthouse and they were gone before I thought about unpacking. #itinerantman #slowtravel #san #mexico #streetlife #solotravel #guesthouse #folded

Nopales in a crate at the market entrance, spines catching the morning light. The woman selling them barely looked up. I walked three blocks before I realized I should have bought a few. #itinerantman #slowtravel #san #mexico #streetfood #solotravel #nopales #market

Pozole at the Mercado José Castillo Tielemans comedor. Hominy sat in the red broth like something that had always been there. I paid thirty pesos and ate standing because the bench was taken. #itinerantman #slowtravel #san #mexico #streetfood #solotravel #pozole #comedor

Hostel shelf paperback, spine broken somewhere before I found it. I pulled it down after the flat white at La Selva wore off. Still don't know if it was left behind on purpose. #itinerantman #slowtravel #san #mexico #streetlife #solotravel #broken #hostel

Flor de calabaza quesadilla at the market. Watched her work the comal for a minute before I said yes. Twenty pesos, gone in four bites. #itinerantman #slowtravel #san #mexico #streetfood #solotravel #quesadilla #calabaza

Pine trees through the glass, climbing into San Cristóbal. Eleven hours out of Crucecita, the last hour all uphill. The tamal at the terminal was gone by the first stop. #itinerantman #slowtravel #san #mexico #citywalk #overland #window #climbing

Santa Cruz bay at noon, pangas tied near the pier. The flat white at Gardenia was still a miss. Room 6 is one night. #itinerantman #slowtravel #huatulco #mexico #citywalk #solotravel #midday #pangas

I keep trying cafés with counters four inches too low and then being surprised my back complains. Bench near the cathedral instead.

Tlayuda on Trujano. The woman at the stand never looked up. Her hands knew.

Santo Domingo square, late afternoon. Someone left a plastic chair facing the mountains like a joke that turned into a habit.

Steering-wheel breakfast, Mercado 20 de Noviembre, forty-five pesos. There is a version of me that would have taken the picture first. I took it second. Only slightly better.

The square at an hour when it still belongs to the sweepers. Wet stone, a cathedral that has been standing longer than my country has been a country. I took this before I had wifi and sent it from a wobbly café table, which feels like the right order.
