Just the other day I was telling these crazy hungarians about the wonder of s'mores, I will have to find a fire one night and make them for them. Good job on the good accent as well, Im still working on speaking (let alone worrying about accent) but hey! |
| 29th November 2006 Bradon | First comment and i'm first WOOT - From: Palms and Pine Trees Hey there! Looks like you are having a great time and i can't believe you actually had to bust out the toque and scarf in mexico! P.S send some of that sun up here. The -31 weather is kinda getting annoying. |
| 25th November 2006 el güero | Spanish word for cranberry - From: Happy Thanksgiving to all you crazy canadians out there! For what it's worth, "arandano" is the Spanish word for cranberry. That doesn't mean that a lot of Spanish speakers know that, primarily since they don't grow anywhere where Spanish is spoken -- with the possble exception of Chile or Argentina, and I don't know if they've ever been introduced there. But I think those are about the only Spanish-speaking countries that have a latitude suitable for cranberries. |
| 7th November 2006 Jo | I have - From: Longest Blog Gap in History only one thing that you don't right now - SNOW LOTS AND LOTS OF SNOW. bet you're jealous right? HAHA I know I know - As if! Good to know you're still rockin' Mex. Love love! |

| 6th November 2006 Jess! | babies dont make good souveniers! - From: Longest Blog Gap in History Remember that about the babies! And Kristina, seriously, only you would set up a social program in your school to help the needy. Really, I cant think of anyone else. Well, even though you dont need it, good luck! |
| 18th October 2006 Susan Bottern | Turkey musings - From: Happy Thanksgiving to all you crazy canadians out there! Good for you. Pretty brave. I hate to think how old I was before I tried cooking my first bird. This is a year you can be truly thankful for. A skiff of snow yesterday (Oct 10 2006), all gone now. Glorious, but nippy. Keep on cookin' Susan Bottern |
| 15th October 2006 Bradon | Bonjour mon cher - From: Happy Thanksgiving to all you crazy canadians out there! Hey there so I just finished reading every blog.

Happy Thanksgiving darlin' and congrats on your very first (and very successful) all-by-yourself Thanksgiving Dinner - props to you! Cheers to turkey, stuffing (especially), pies and the reasons why we celebrate Thanksgiving! Bon soir ma belle! |
| 10th October 2006 Madre | Congrats - From: Happy Thanksgiving to all you crazy canadians out there! Hi Kristina; Congratulations on your first turkey. However, I feel I have failed you somehow by you leaving this house without knowing what a turnip is! What have I done!?!?!?! It looks like you had a great thanksgiving. Great photos. |
| 10th October 2006 ERic <---yea thats right | Turkey looks delicious - From: Happy Thanksgiving to all you crazy canadians out there! and I hate spelling it is so hard. Haha the turkey looks really good for being smoked...but anywho I think thats all I have to say and yea thanks for not calling me...jeez haha |
| 4th October 2006 Susan Bottern | My word - From: for the love of languages..... Have finally figured out this blog thing. Good work on your part in keeping us updated about your Mexican life. We live vicariously through you!! Just figured out I read your blogs backwards but will do better in the future (we older folks don't catch onto this high falutin' techie stuff as quickly as you young people). One of your first pictures showed you jumping into the ocean and there was a house in the background. If I do not miss my mark (which I do quite regularly) that house is where Night of the Iguana was filmed. You are aware, no doubt, that PV is where Burton and Taylor continued their new affair after the filming of Cleopatra was finished. They put the little sleepy village of PV on the worldwide map. Have you seen the house they bought yet? I know every one of our Rotary exchange students has an awesome time whereever they go but I must say, the sight of the ocean and the sand made my heart turn over. Speaking of which, we finally got our first significant frost two nights ago. Quite late for us. We are having a marvelous fall. Try teaching the Mexicans about frost. Keep dancin' and don't sweat the school stuff. Drink it all in. Deeply. With tinges of green-eyed envy, but wishing you all the best, Susan Bottern |
| 4th October 2006 Dzsesszika (hung. spelling) | mmm mmm beaches! - From: for the love of languages..... definatly jealous of the ease of spanish! and the beach! man o man, sounds like you are having a blast, carry on and learn some mexican dancing and i think i have to learn some hungarian folk dancing (doesnt sound as fun i know), so then when we both go home we can have a dance off! |
| 4th October 2006 Denise and co | Photos. - From: Shortest Blog I have ever written The photos are really lovely. You look so happy in Mexico! I Look forward to your next update. By the time you get this it will be almost the weekend again so 'have a nice weekend'. Lots of love, all the Stratties xx |
| 2nd October 2006 JO | so did - From: for the love of languages..... you get the paz from me or did you know it before me? haha it's good you can speak now and that you can be you - always a good thing - tu eres la chica mas hermosa que yo se! haha I just know it off by heart now! te queirro! |
| 23rd September 2006 Eric January | MMM...PB Cookies - From: Peanut butter cookies and deep fried sardines Haha...sound's like a wicked week especially with all the partying. So...yea I've really got nothing but I did have a weird day today...I kept having DeJaVu after the other...haha. Ummm...yea I got nothing else to add. P.S. 2 months till Baby J.J. is born and I swear on my soul thats what it is...:D |
| 22nd September 2006 Paula | "Family Gathering-Food Thing" - From: Peanut butter cookies and deep fried sardines Suggestion, in Ireland a family is a Clann, so perhaps a "Clann Gathering". Problem - it would make sense to every Irish person reading your blog but perhaps not anyone else though!! Paula x |
| 14th September 2006 Melodie | - From: Arrrrrrriba , ondelay! Waaaah!! Your conference sounded like it was awesome!!! We only have 6 of us in our district here... so yeah, not quite as wild... School's sorta the same here; all I do is copy stuff off of the board or doodle... it's cute though when everyone tries to explain something - they whip out their electronic translators and all crowd around, pointing at the screens... anyhoo, love your pictures!! And your updates...! Have fun! (that sounds so dumb but I hope you do, anyways) |
| 13th September 2006 JessicaDawn | i love kristina! - From: Arrrrrrriba , ondelay! I love how similiar our conferences were!..Aside from the ocean...and the banana boat, and the bikinis...alright they were pretty different! but asides from all of that mexiconess they were the same! And my district is full of people from Brazil as well! Those Brazillians... Oh and I am so jealous about the mail! |
| 13th September 2006 Denise and co | Hhhmmmmm...... - From: Arrrrrrriba , ondelay! It sounds like a hoot! Lots of new faces for you to meet too. (Isn't there anybody from Ireland there?? At all...??!!) anyhoo, glad to see your having lots of fun and working on that tan! Love to you from us, all the Stratties. p.s. Happy weekend again. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| 13th September 2006 Madre | News is only old if you have heard it before - From: Arrrrrrriba , ondelay! Hi Kristina; the reason the news is so old now in old fashioned letters, is that we are an instant society; so we write the letter then speak to you in the same day! Craziness. Back in the day on the Prairie, the letters would have been the only news...how did we live without emails, texts, blogs and MSN. I am not sure how we survived. Keep watching for the mail! I love the blogs, and the photos are great! I am glad that you are 18, and is that legal drinking age in Mexico? and is there a drinking age in Mexico? and is Canada the only restrictive society about drinking?! Enjoy the Irish in You. Make good Choices! |
| 9th September 2006 Paula O Doherty | - From: Hurricanes can really put a DAMPER on your plans Hi Kristina Have only just caught up with the last few entries - sounds like you are having a ball.
