Río Pánuco 2185, Departemento 422, Col. Roma

..is my new address! Yesterday was crazy with getting everything fixed before moving in. We were supposed to meet at the apt at 6 pm to get the keyes and to sign our contracts. That did not happen for three reasons;

first, it started to rain. And I don´t mean 'light-autumn-drizzle-that-you-laugh-and-dance-around-in', I mean hardcore tropical raining. Apparently when it does rain here, that is the kind we get. That made everything take a liiiitle more time, especially with traffic.

Secondly; we spent almost three hours (!) at Walmart finding everything we might need for the place. Bedding, cleaning, food, staple groceries, towels, kitchenware, you name it. I spent about 1300 pesos on my stuff, and then another 300 pesos on mutual things. We looked like boat refugees running accross the parking lot (well Magda does not run with her foot, she limpses but you get the picture) towards Estebans small but adorable fiat and try to pack four shopping carts filled with stuff. We did make it and then went back to the hostel to get a cab for our actual luggage.

Thirdly there is this thing called mexican time. Basically it means that if you say you meet at six, no one shows up before 6:30. I find myself having alot of problems with that because I hate to be late and I hate people that are late (fifteen minutes exempted of course) but here it is all good. Apparently. But even the mexicans was a little bit angry with us when we showed up one and a half hours late with a taxi full of suitcases and a fiat stuffed with walmart bags. But who cares, we now have an apartment! Things that are not working:
- my toilet
- magdas shower faucet
- water preassure in the kitchen
- one pair of blinds.
As you can see only minor details =)

Oh, i did get my second piece of luggage yesterday. That was the good news. The bad news is that the bag obviously had been left out in Atlanta rain and all my clothes subsequently was wet. Me no likey. Me complainy to Delta and will settle for nothing less than money. Or an upgrade to business on my flight home. I´ll let you know what happens.

Hasta pronto!
