Well this past week just flew by. I spent most of it recovering from my chalupa experience but didnt miss any school and got better in time to play soccer on Friday. (I even scored my first goal, well, accidentally, it deflected off the defender and went in, haha) Saturday a bunch of us teachers went to a sothern part of Mexico City to a place that's reminiscent of the Venice-like canals that were Mexico City before the Spaniards came. Ten of us boarded a brightly painted boat with our own canal pusher on the back and relaxed as we floated past other boats of parties and mariachi bands and boats selling food and blankets. Very touristy but fun with a bunch of friends and very relaxing. Sunday I went to church with my friend Rodney where he's been attendingfor a while and really enjoyed it. The pastor of the church is actually from Indianapolis but has lived in Mexico for 15 years and speaks great Spanish with a thick gringo accent. Afterwards we went out to eat with a couple from church that Rodney's friends with and got some good Mexican food.
By the way I had an issue with my laundry lady this past week. Picked up my laundry and everything was there except most my socks, only 3 came back, and no underwear. I dont know what could have happened but they are definietly MIA and I am missing them.
Have a great day in the States!

Hey Britt, I am still smiling about your blog. That is so funny about your missing items in your laundry. Well at least your mother will know what you need to Christmas. Not much for news around here. I am still taking Lauren to play group daily and she loves it. The leaves are really pretty right now. In fact behind your house they are very pretty. Mornings are getting very chilly. Hey try and send more pictures. I really enjoyed them. Keep those blogs coming. Miss you!

I think you made up that story about the missing underwear so we all wouldn't know the truth about you... that you prefer not wearing underwear!!!! :) Just kidding of course!

My students are bugging the bonkers out of me. I gave them candy as a prize today and, of course, it wasn't good enough. I guess I am a bad teacher because apparently they won't work for less than an ipod. UGH!

LOVE YOU
