This are going well here in San Miguel. I got the time wrong for my flight from Denver to Houston, I thought it was an hour earlier, so the start of my journey to Mexico was a little rough. I made it on time though and it was smooth sailing past that. My apartment is wonderful. The land lady (which is what I call her since I have NO idea what her name is and am now too embarrased to ask) bought some new furniature, so now there's a dining room table and a book shelf, not that I use either, since I eat most of my meals at Casa Ayuda and didn't bring any books. Things are going well at the Casa. The land looks wonderful. They have been collecting almost dead plants from their ... read more

We took a one and a half hour bus to San Miguel de Allende. It's another beautiful colonial town. We spent most of the day at La Gruta, a hot springs spa twenty minutes out of town. It was a divine way to spend the day.... read more

We took a four hour bus to Guanajuato. The time the bus was great, the toilet was in good condition and they gave us goodie bags with snacks. On the downside, they made us sit through Mel homophobe Gibson's "The Patriot". So if you're ever having to catch a bus around Mexico, check to see if "Primero Plus" does your route. Guanajuato is absolutely beautiful. It's a colonial town but has a large university so it also has a young, bohemian feel to it. Lots of quirky cafes, bars and unusual shops. I've even seen some Mexican goths! I read that Hurricane Henriette hammered Acapulco -- good timing we left when we did -- and the storms are making their way inland so that would explain the thunder storms I can hear outside my window as ... read more

Well i'm here and it's beautiful. The weather is nice..it's cool today thanks to Dean but I can't complain at all. I have met most of the group already and everybody is nice...very differnet and from very differnet places of the US but it should be cool. I don thave much to say YET but believe you me I will after this whole thing gets going. When I arrived it was only 20 min drive from the airport to the Town and then I hate to say it but they just kind of dump you off and tell you were to be the next morning. It was okay because it has given us a chance to talk and see the city just by walking around. I miss everyone but not enough to come home lol I ... read more

Hello friends, family, and those interested in Mexico... I have had all kinds of trouble with my blog the past few weeks. Part of it was my fault and part of it was because the server crashed and they temporarily lost my previous entries. As soon as they recovered my old entries, I printed them out. So everything's better now. I also switched families at the beginning of August to be closer to downtown. My family consists of 4 grown children and 2 grandchildren. None of them are currently living in the house, although Diego comes home on the weekends. Luis and his family live nearby and eat meals with us sometimes. He has two little girls named Fernanda and Cinthia. Claudia lives with her husband in San Miguel and she is such a sweetheart. ... read more
