We're Back!

Please excuse our long absence.  Since our last blog, much has happened.  Well not really.  We are adjusting fairly well.  The dogs are driving us crazy.  The people are still rude, more often than not.  Most importantly, we are dependent on public transportation.  It's Cervantino time here in Guanajuato.  The weeks leading up to Cervantino we heard a lot of talk about how crowded the city becomes.  Tons of complaints from the city folk, but now it just seems like a whole lot of hype.  It's been interesting, we've enjoyed some nice shows.  We've traveled some.  We've ventured out of the town for the first time this past weekend.  We visited Dolores Hidalgo.  I absolutely love it there.  If only there was a Waldorf school there.  I've gone on two trips with the 2nd grade to Cervantino events.  Bobbie Rose saw her first Cervantino show this weekend.  Oh no guess what... It's Alacran season.  We are all scared, yeah we know now that we won't die but we know that it hurts like crazy.  Ahhh, best of all our dear little "I"talian friend, Orlando is here to visit.  He arrived on the 2nd of October, he should have arrived the 1st but he had his own misfortune.  Long story short he's here now and he is a blast to have around.  Better yet he's a great cook.  He fired our cook.  No seriously, he really did on his first day here.  We're sure it's for the best.  I really regret not writing for so long.  I find it difficult to write about what happened a few weeks ago.  We received our first piece of mail from the U.S. it was such great fun.  It came from the always thoughtful Riebeling clan.  Hmmm, while Orlando has been here we did touristy things, the momias, minas, Pipila, and the likes.  At the Waldorf school we celebrated Michaelmas it was fun, both different and the same.   I'll post pictures, Orlando would like me to mention that he has diarrhea yup he really does now if only he'd get bitten by an alacran he'd have the full on Mexico experience.
