Dear Blog,

It's been so long! Guess what? I still don't have Internet, but I should have it on September 20, 2008 (so they say). We are having them come on a Saturday, since weekdays didn't seem to work out so well.

Remember how they cut off our electricity? Well, the power company still hasn't come to turn it back on. We have power, but we had to turn it on illegally. If we hadn't had the doorman in our building turn it on, we would have been without power for over two weeks now--unbelievable! And I thought they moved slow in the Low Country...

Last weekend, we went to Acapulco. We went with Juan's friend and stayed at his place. It was pretty hot and the place did not have air conditioning. It reminded me of the good old days of Asheville--we even had a window fan in our room. It rained a lot, but we were still able to go to the beach. I ate a coconut and got a massage without even leaving my armchair. That's how they do business in Mexico.

When we got back from Acapulco, our furniture was waiting for us in our apartment! I can finally take a nap and watch t.v. at the same time. When I have cable, I will be all set!

This weekend is Mexico's Independence Day, so we get Monday and Tuesday off! I will let you know all about it. I will probably go to Juan's office sometime over the weekend and write to you. I am not sure what we will do yet, but I just wanna rest.

Well, I gotta get going. I've missed you, Blog.

Love,
Jenny en la ciudad
