Some Smells of Mexico

• The incredibly exotic smell of night-blooming jasmine wafting in our window
• Bad drains, though happily much less than I remember from earlier years
• Delicious aromas from sidewalk stands where people are deep-frying pork parts in oil that probably hasn't been changed in a very long time
• The fresh salt air at the beaches
• Diesel fumes from long-distance buses
  
• Tropical flowers
• Spices in the soup I had for lunch in a sweet little cafe
