some random stories from mexico
I have a personal spanish tutor. His name is Alfredo Herrera. He is old and very cute.
Jamie and I spent the afternoon driving around Mazatlan in a Safari which is a VW bug with the top cut off and and golf-cart cover put on. We got some really funny looks seeing as only locals drive these types of vehicles. Jamie is a really good Mexican driver.
I had my first encounter with a cockroach last night. It was in the shower. I caught him in a cup and flushed him down the toliet. I am now having dreams about cockroaches coming out of the toilet while I am sitting on it.
I think some new bugs have recently been introduced to my digestive system. We will see if they are happy there or not in a few days.
I live with a crazy lady, a single young woman named Olga who works at a bread factory calle Bimbo (pronounced Beembo), a customs officer named Miguel Angel who does not speak very good english but likes to hang out with me all the same and another guy who I have never seen, but I know he is home occasionaly b/c the toilet seat is often left up.
I accidentally spent $8 on lemonade in a cafe yesterday.

I am so jealous . . . but not about the cockroach, you can keep that experience, I've had enough cockroach incidents to last me a lifetime!
Guess what? I just found out that there's a program with the CBA that places young lawyers in foreign settings for a year to do law stuff (helping human rights organizations). Of the countries they have links to I'm very interested in either Guatemala (of course) or South Africa. I have to be admitted to the bar first though so this is years away, but it's definitely helping me get through another crappy summer in SK.
Still not enjoying the job? That is too bad, but the other oportunity sounds right up your ally! Keep plugging!
oh, I'm enjoying the job a lot more than before and I think that a firm is the perfect place to work when it's time to settle down. I guess I'm just looking for some more adventure (and a chance to see if some of my dreams are actually feasible).
