A new year, a new dawn, a new life...almost.

So, finally back in Monterrey and finally back on the blog! So sorry for not writing during christmas but time really flie when yu are home and having fun. Basically this christmas was all about the cold weather (between minus 6-17) and the snow. Winter wonderland took on a new meaning for sure. All in all my visit back home offered some smaller bumps in the road, but nothing family and friends couldn´t take care of. So thanks to all of you for making my stay in Sthlm as good as it can get!

Now, travelling back to MTY was fun...not. New rules thanks to stupid plane bombers made security at Amsterdam a bitch. All passengers had to be screened again (my third time) before being allowed to board. That ment that our flight was 1 1/2 hours delayed. Then our pilot informed us that we were too heavy and had to make a stop-over in Bangor Maine (WTF??) in order to refuel. So now I´ve been to Maine. It sucks.

All of this almost made me miss my connection to MTY, but luckily I just made it. I was alos hoping for nice temperatures but nooo, Monterrey i experiencing the coldest temperatures in years; around 3-5 degrees. Freaking cold when you live in non-isolated concrete houses with only ac-heating. But, despite this I am not complaining, mostly because I´ve finally moved away from our department building from hell and to a nice house in the safe, prosperous and more affluent city of San Pedro. It is a city of its own, but part of Monterrey. Much nicer. I am also especially pleased that my new house has a mandarin and grapefruit tree in the back yard - just go out in the morning and get your fruit. The house is rented by this very nice guy Diego who shares it with a friend, Pedro. They have two spare rooms of which I have one and Magda has the other. It couldn´t be better! My house is also situated about fifteen minutes walk (if you want to risk your life crossing two highways) from my new offices at CEMEX HQ. Yes people, I got the internship and after my first day (today) I am really excited about this! I will probably have to work my ass off but damn it´s got real potential to be great fun! I will tell you more about it tomorrow, now my jetlag is kicking in and I need to go to bed :)

Nos Vemos! J
