Dear Blog,

I had a good week last week. I didn't do too much, just went to work and hung out with Monty, really. Juan was in Oaxaca for most of the week, so Monty and I went on long walks in the afternoon. I was bummed about missing Thanksgiving, but there aren't any Pilgrims in Mexico. I told the story of Thanksgiving to my kids, so I celebrated in my own way. Next year, I think I will dress up as a Pilgrim and act the story out, Chris Mathews-style.

Over the weekend, we got a coffee table and a rug for our living room. Our apartment is actually starting to look furnished. We didn't really do anything else over the weekend. Next weekend, however, I think we are going to go ice-skating. That's right. There is an ice-skating rink in the Zocalo, and it is made of real ice. Every day is in the seventies, and there is still fake snow and an ice-skating rink. Only in Mexico. I'll let you know how it pans out.

I am going to give Monty a bath, so he is nice and clean before bed. I'll write to you soon.

Love,
Jenny en la ciudad
