Well, my friends, you must not have visited Mexico City!
At first, it seemed refreshingly romantic. Couples walking hand in hand, not afraid to give a little kiss every now and then. Have no fear -- public displays of affection are alive and well in this sprawling town (which actually used to be a lake, did you know that?).
But before long, it became less and less refreshing and more....awkward. The kind of awkward where you know you shouldn't be watching something so personal, and if you were watching it you could be assured there would soon be an FCC lawsuit.
Couples of all ages, some more discreet than others, stopping mid walk to plant a long, sustained, ACTIVE kiss on each other. (Really, I could do without seeing the biting and licking.) Leaning up against walls in welcoming poses typically reserved for the beginning of a Dawson's Creek scene of which you only see the passionate beginning.
And it's impossible to ignore. I mean, we've actually interrupted such encounters as we bump into them on crowded streets. Awkward!
To be honest, it has been a struggle. For so much of this trip we have been a part of the common struggle when in a country that is not your own -- to assimilate or not to assimilate? Should I give into the urge to conform, stealing Lizzy away against a nearby wall for a little acceptable nookie? Or do I heed the overwhelming feelings of discomfort and do my best to put the blinders on, trying to avoid future run-ins?
We still have 5 days and the verdict is still out.

I vote to assimilate!
Excellent! I have the perfect wall already picked out....that is assuming we ever leave this cess pool
The smell of sewage was just starting to grow on me though....ok let's go.
You'd think we don't already spend every waking hour with each other. Are we so bored as to talk to each other on our blog rather than turning around and talking in person?
So what if we are...
Honey, it is not that we are bored, just po' and this is free entertainment!
I would say go with the flow. You know Robert if you were to do this with Liz on a street in Syracuse, someone would think you were attacking her. LOL Can't wait to see you guys
