Every once in a while you get a glimpse of the obscene amount of money floating around in some corners of Mexico 🇲🇽. During my 8 yrs in Guadalajara I saw plenty of luxury cars & stores. But "wearing my $50,000 USD watch at the seafood restaurant" is a whole other level.

After 9 years in Guadalajara 🇲🇽 we've moved back to Portland, Oregon.
It's only Day 2 and my 9yo has already observed, "Papá, everyone here is...a little weird 😏"

That's a hell of a combination of stickers.
Also the first time in 9 years living in Guadalajara 🇲🇽 that I've seen such blatant fascist iconography.
Also, fuck Nazis.

I've lived in Guadalajara 🇲🇽 long enough to know that these gorgeous clouds mean I have about an hour to bring the laundry in or it's going to get soaked

I know next to nothing about LA but I assume the Consulate General of Mexico being right across the street means a lot of Mexicans (undocumented and otherwise) would tend to visit the area
