Hey kids, check out the skydiver in this photo. So first off I know you want to hear about the latest trials and tribulations of our living in a very different country right? Our latest adventures include having to pay the customary policia bribe for a parking ticket and seriously, you can haggle everything in Mexico. It ended up being 50%less than it "should have" been. Today we opted not to take showers and go out to eat in lieu of washing dishes so that the "tinacos"(big water reservoirs on the roof)don't run dry before the water from the city comes in tomorrow--uh, we hope. When we say NOTHING is consistent in Mexico, I guess it even carries over to the inner workings of technology as we spent HOURS today trying to fix a paper jam in our ever important printer. It works for now, fingers crossed, thanks to Michael oh and did I mention that our 2nd car(piece of crap suburban that belongs to Brian)that already wasn't running now won't even accept a jump start and is totally dead? woohoo!
We knew that Jan. was the "high season" in Mexico but man is it EVER! We've been juggling students and teachers for days now, squeezing people into groups and even turning people away. We may even have 2 tours to do this weekend-one on Sat. and one on Sun. Fielding phone calls, emails, walk ups, having intermittent meetings with teachers and trying our best to hold it all together and keep everyone happy...that's what we've been up to as of late. That's about all the energy I have to contribute right now, we're hungry!
