I am now in Guadalajara. Explored the old downtown and had some really nice enchiladas 🤤 Here is my favourite pic of today (a particularly hard day to choose just one!)
A coffee and a cheese cafe in a brown table. The  background overlooks a park and there is some monument in the center surrounded by rock pillars.

Proud of how my living room feels. Chill and cozy. Also, that display is made out of coffee bags I have collected over the years. Go me!

My keyboard! It is an Mode Encore with lubed and filmed durock linears. The key caps are PBT but I honestly have forgotten the name on them. On my defence they are not labelled, 😓. Currently saving up for a new keycap set. Anyone have any switches suggestion? #keyboard #keeb #endgame #mode
