First Colorado Plates

Today we saw a Toureg with Colorado Plates, the first we have seen in Mexico, absolutely fantastic! I felt like I was in Colorado. Spanish school is going just great, Mike and I are in the same class and our maestra is a fox! We are thinking about doing one more week of class because of this reason before we start our farming extravaganza. I haven´t seen anyone I know in town except for Mike and a girl we met on the bus sometimes. Things are good, it is colder here right now in the mornings and night than Colorado it seems. It seems that global warming is actually cooling Mexico and since this is a new trend since El Niño eight years ago. For those of you who don´t know Spanish, that means the Niño. Also the sudden popularity of ethanol in the states has given to raise to the price of corn products including our stple, corn tortillas. The price now has risen to 14 pesos per kg in the most expensive areas of the country. People are angry and cold, but we are having a great time and recommend this part of the country to anyone who dares to brave paying $1.20 for two and a half pounds of tortillas. Mike has had some diarrhea and I´m waiting for mine to arrive any day now. Our mama, se llama Maria is a nice lady that prepares plenty of food for her hijos. I have been eating too much and not running enough because the air is a little contaminated and gives headaches. Much love from freezing morning and night time San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Kenny met a nice girl on the bus, it was quite magical. Details for the wedding are on the way. To be continued... we might go to Cuba.
