| Hah, well well well, day 3 and already Moctezuma has gotten his revenge on us. Don´t worry, I´ll spare you details but I´ve just been feeling nauseus (sp.?) pretty much all afternoon and we´re really tired too. We just ventured out of our apt to see what the farmacias have for this disease and hopefully we picked up some strong stuff that will knock it out. We decided we´ve really got a lot of things against us right now, lack of sleep, new food and water, and high altitude. So welcome Moctezuma. Jenny calls it Bicicleta. We´ve bonded fast. :-) In other news....we might have a regular taxista, Marcos, to take us to school each day which would be awesome. (We´ve taken taxis everyday, theyre real cheap, the most expensive trip costs 2 dollars) We start orientation tomorrow at 9 and I´m real excited to see how it´s going to be. We found out that the American School is the premeir in Pachuca and is located in a wealthy neighborhood where all the big soccer players live. Oh, and we might be going to a game this Saturday, hopefully we fell better by then, we´re getting excited about it. Pachuca has the best team in Mexico and a really nice stadium. Bueno, I think that´s about it. :-) Hasta ahora! |

¡Qué celos tengo! Disfruta de toda la cultura - tengo ganas de ver todas las fotos. Hasta luego, Cate
Hey Britt,
Hope you are feeling better today. Also hope your day went good today at orientation.
It is close to 90 here today. I should be out in the pool. Miss you lots but this is such a wonderful opportunity for you. Enjoy yourself. Remember I expect some Mexican recipes. Eat a good taco for me. Waiting to see pictures. Hugs, Jackie
Britt, so glad you made it safe and sound! I think if you are feeling nausea and tired you are experiencing altitude sickness ~ I know it well from living in Breckenridge! You will be delighted to know that junk food, especially sodas will help. Also salty things like munchies. Guess I forgot to mention the TP gig in Mexico...such fun! Get a water filter asap. Is the store close to you that's Walmart like called PriceSmart? They are in Mexico, all of Central America and you join as a member~check it out. Do not forget that ice cubes will get ya fast as water if they are not from filtered water. Hope your orientation goes well tomorrow. I suggest a Redhead over all other color options :-) Gringa Give altitude sickness 3-4 days to clear if you are doing plenty of carbonation - I guess they don't have an oxygen bar there eh??? Sara
