Coming Soon!

Dave is out of town this weekend and next weekend, so I decided to use the free computer time catch up on all the blogs I've been putting off. I also am going to do a post highlighting each of the family members and what they've been up to the last 4 months. I had planned to do this at our 6 month mark, but Dave doesn't have another trip planned till February, so a bird in the hand...

Fastest Restaurant in the World

After the zoo on Saturday night we went to dinner at the restaurant that won the Guinness World Record for fastest service in the World in 1998. 13.5 seconds. Ours took a frustrating 50 seconds but who's counting?
The food was this steak cooked in a broth with beans and bacon. At first, I couldn't see the appeal, but by the end of the meal, I could tell I was going to be craving it. Also served a great bean dip with corn in it and fresh lemonade.
Guadalajara Zoo

We've been meaning to make it to the Guadalajara Zoo and finally did on Saturday, although only for about 3 hours. Got a late start.

Our favorite part: Feeding and petting the giraffes on the safari.

Wow! What a surprise!

After over two months of endless homework, internet translations and studying for exams that were at least as hard as one's I did in Junior High, if not High School, Jane and Riley got their grades for the first grading period and they got 8's, 9's and 10's out of 10 in all of their subjects, both English and Espanol! They even made the honor roll in both their classes! Wow! It makes it all worth it!
