Well I guess I should really re assure you all that I’m not living in a mud-clay hut… well not yet anyway, that’s saved especially for later on 😉
It’s great… I like it’s the boys like it…. And it’s seems the departmento likes us too… (yes, buildings do have feelings, so says the Mexican aquitectura classes)
Yup this where I’ll be for the next few months… it’s a whole apartment block with like 8 individual apartments, and mostly Mexican Students which is cool, it’s like 7 mins walk from the school, so since I start class every day at 7am (which really couldn’t be much worse, especially when your freaking alarm doesn’t wake you up!) So… I attempt to wake at 6, we is really 6:30.. have a shower, make breakfast and eat it whilst walking to school in the cool - luke warm temperature of dawn, gives you time to reflect, and taxi drivers aren’t beeping at you all the time… because Mexico doesn’t wake til about 10am… IF you’re lucky
So here it is, lounge, kitchen, laundry & back patio, the bathroom, Mac and Pierre-louis room, James and my room and the sunny study, which is
really a friendly place for friends to stay. The boys are amazingly clean… to be honest, I think I’m the messiest one, my justification, I’m got triple the amount of stuff the boys, just look at the wardrobe!
It’s costing us like $7000 pesos ($45) each month, plus expenses, which is like dirt cheap…. Actually I think some dirt can be more expensive 😉
We all share communal costs, like cleaning products and milk, salt, pepper, oil … blah blah.. but since I live on fulfilling my food cravings, and the boys live for take out tacos and cervezas (beer) most nights, individual food we get ourselves. Which is quite smart really. James has obviously done this before.
I’ve put my A into G a bit more… because SUPPOSEDLY I wasn’t doing my bit of the housework…. Which I’m never home to do…. But I’m doing what I canstaying up to like 2 in the morning washing dishes… cleaning the bathroom and the toilet for the first time today! (eggciting I know), mopping the floor every week… (which I’m trying to scam my way out of for as long as possible) … James sed I’ve “progressed”… which I
somewhat take as a complement.
Well this is it! Home for the Mexican months to come ☺xo
well actually ... it's only like 4 more months... ekkkkk.... *happy sigh* New Zealand
