The Casa opened at 8 and we found out they also served breakfast starting at 8, so we just dropped off our luggage across the street at the Hotel Texas in our room (as Realtors would say – “cozy”, “intimate” – never “small”) and then walked back across the street to the Casa.

The Casa originally was a large home and the dining room has a table that maybe seats a dozen or more at a time. Multiple groups and individuals come and go, so every morning is an eclectic group of travelers from around the globe.  This Monday morning saw a Mennonite group from Saskatchewan learning about migration issues in Mexico (a future post) at 10, so we asked if we could join in and lesson.  After being up all night it was hard staying completely awake through the PowerPoint, but the topic was fascinating.

At lunch time, we walked back across the street – and crashed!
