Granted, we haven’t met him as such yet but I think we’re going to get along just fine.
We managed to find an hour spare today and used it to visit room 27 of the British Museum.
Call it research, call it getting in the mood. It was a good hour spent, and already we’ve learnt a few things about some of the places we’re going to travel through. And we’ve got a new friend.
Xochipilli was an Aztec solar deity, and the patron of feasting, music, dancing and poetry.

It seems I’m the only one with my head in the clouds enough to not realise it was your last day in the office yesterday! I’m sorry for so casually accepting your leftover coffee without so much as a goodbye. Hope you both have an amazing trip, although the hope part really isn’t necessary as you will obviously have an amazing trip. I’ll visit your blog for inspiration, outside of working hours of course 😉
