car rides

This afternoon is rainy but I really cant remember the last time it rained here in Pachuca. Weve had great weather lately, its always bright and sunny, and I realized, this past Sunday as I was lounging in the stands at the baseball field that is a stone´s throw away from my house and also the number one old men´s hangout in Pachuca, that for as much as Im surpised how chilly it can be here at night, it still gets really warm here during the day. I wear short sleeves and most times, if Im out for even a hour, notice that I got some kind of sun because its just so intense when it´s out.
Well this weekend was a good one, stayed in Pachuca and did Pachucaey things. Played soccer on Friday afternoon and afterwards Jenny´s Mexican boyfriend, Tino, picked us up in his hot blue Mercedes convertible. He took us to a good burger joint and we felt like California girls cruising through town. Never thought I myself would be the one driving through town the next day, but as the story goes, I went to the fair on Saturday with my friend Fabis and she happened to fall on the ice skating rink and sprained her wrist. She got the medics to check it out and they wrapped it up tight in a sling and so guess who had to drive!!! Still cant believe I drove through all of Pachuca, the drivers are so crazy here, but we made it in one piece and I didnt even stall! It was kind of a thrill really...I wonder if they´d accept my Pennsylvania drivers license down here... haha.
Saturday night I went to the Pachuca soccer game with Stu, Rod, another teacher named Will, and our new neighbors, Angela and Pierre. Good times at the game, it was a big deal, with a big rival, but we lost and it was sad. Then we went out for tacos.
Yesterday was muy tranquilo and, wow, today was the beginning of another week. Time really seems to fly. How´s home??
