If you have a few hours free, you might get a chance to walk or ride around your town. There’s no pressure to get anywhere, there’s no hurry. There’s no place to get to and there’s nobody in particular that you have to be.

Stop in the plaza and eat a tamal, drink a tepache, run into an old friend.

If you can’t do that, perhaps you can just look outside your window for a while, and watch the world pass by.
