Dave's been in New York since Thursday and though you'd think that would give me more time to blog, but I just haven't found a time away from the kids. Before he left he was constantly on the computer getting ready for a conference, so not much happened for me to blog about. I take that back, the night before he left, we decided to go into Guadalajara and do some shopping. There is a big mall there that is as good as any american mall and it's right by a Costco. So we left at about 3:30pm and shopped till about 8:30pm, but didn't get home till 12:30am. I think it was the worst traffic I've ever been in. We went about 15 miles in 3 hours. The main street that we needed to be on was backed up and we never did see an accident or any other cause. Just lots of cops and other cars. We didn't know enough about Guadalajara to find an alternate route, but we didn't see other cars peeling off to take other routes either. Anyway, made me not very excited to go to that mall again.
Thursday, didn't do much.
Friday went to a water park called Tobolandia within walking distance of our house. From far away, I was not too thrilled to go. It looked pretty shabby and not well maintained, but it was not bad. Sure the paint was peeling off most things and a few slides didn't have water, so we skipped those, but it wasn't very crowded on a Friday and the kids had lots of fun. Even nervous Jane went on all the slides.Saturday, didn't do much.
Sunday, our friends from Utah, Clark and Juli, had a 7 hour layover in Guadalajara on their way to Acapulco. So I picked them up from the airport and took them to church with me. Clark was an LDS missionary in Ecuador, so he speaks Spanish and wanted to attend church here. They have another layover on Thursday, so we're going to pick them up again and go to dinner. Maybe they'll comment with an outsider's perspective of Ajijic and our crazy life.
Monday, laundry and cleaning day. Some things still have to be done.
Tuesday, Dave came home and I finally got a moment to blog.

What a blast to have the park to yourselves! How was your first spell without Dave? What did he bring you back from NY? :)
not much, an Alison Krauss Cd. But it wasn't as bad as I imagined it might be with him gone. But glad he's back -- for now.
Oops forgot, also got a stroller and the new Stephenie Meyer book. Already done with it.
