More time in Morelia

So the big news for me is that i have found an apartment here in Morelia. I am excited to stay in this beautiful city and work on my spanish more. That means i will probably be here at least until june, july or august. I am currently looking for a job. Probably as a bartender or waiter. But I think it will be hard because my spanish isn´t that great yet. We´ll see though.

I finally saw kenny again after three weeks apart. He finished his farm and stopped by morelia on his way to some hot springs. He is doing well and has a nice beard going. I´m not sure what his plans are next. Although our friend katherine is coming to visit him soon. That should be fun.

Lets see what have I been up to lately??? Well i have been to the zoo here which was fun. Lots of interesting animals from all over the world. I also went to a monarch butterfly reserve. It is where all the monarchs from canada migrate to during the winter. It was crazy. Millions of butterflys. I will post some pictures of them eventually. I have found a gym to work out at and also have located the only ¨climbing gym¨in morelia. It is really small but at least it is climbing. I have been playing tennis with andy´s brother in law hugo. He keeps beating me but soon i will win i think. I have gone out to a few dance clubs here which was an interesting experience. Tons of people with fun dancing. Last weekend i finally made it to the pacific coast. Andy, Nena and I went to the beach for three days. It was beautiful and I realized how much i miss the ocean. So much fun, although I didn´t get to surf because i couldn´t find a surfboard. Next time. We stayed at nena´s fathers house. They were such nice people. I still can´t get over how generous and great the people are here. They welcome perfect strangers into their homes like you were family. Good times.

well i have to get to my apartment to wash my clothes and make some breakfast. It is fun to wash clothes by hand. Takes a little time but they come out nice and clean. I will try and pòst more pics sooon.
Take care. I miss everyone. Kenny does too.
Love,
Mike
