Today is a wicked beautiful day.
Too bad Im sick. But on the upside I became a legal worker in Mexico today. I was one of the 4 chosen extranjeros today to leave school and trip it to the new immigration office of Pachuca. Upon arrival we were told wed have to wait an hour, go get a cafecito or somethign and came back. We went to the mall, drank coffee, killed time and returned only to wait an hour more. Finally we got called in one by one to sign and fingerprint our passport size FM3 booklets that look like they were issued in the 60s. My birthdate year was printed wrong, after 7 months of waiting, and they fixed that up fast, I dont think I look 12 years old. So it was exciting.
Bob Dylan was really cool, we had a fun time, it was cool to see him, he played some classic songs like Lay Lady Lay and Like a Rolling Stone and Boots of Spanish Leather but they did really resemble what they sound like from back in the day, his voice is just not the same. His new stuff was pretty good though.
Last weekend Stu had a birthday bash for all the forgein teachers birthdays that fall in March including his own. He stopped the music and counted down from 10 before midnight to yell Happy March. haha, it was a good time. Sunday we went to the international film festival theyre having here in Pachuca and saw an independent film from Spain called La Influencia. Very silent, depressing, and interesting film. Then we went out for tacos. Wednesday we went back to see another film, an American one called Paranoid Park and it was really a good film. Very cool. After that we celebrated my neighbors birthday at the Sushi Bol, an interesting Pachucan combination of bowling and sushi, go figure. Its real cool though, we had a great time and I broke 100 so i was happy.
Stus parents come tomorrow and Saturday were going to Mexico City with them to see an America game in la Azteca stadium, which is huge. And Thursday my parents come to Pachuca!!! or Chapuca as Tiev calls it, haha...
Send up your prayers for my Aunt Lynne and the Ott´s .... I think of them every day.
Sending you some Mexican sun, until next time.
