Semana Santa

It's Semana Santa (Holy Week) here in Mexico, which seems basically to mean that nothing gets done for about a fortnight. All the schools and so on are off, and here in Guzmán a lot of shops are shut too. I spent the last weekend in Guadalajara again, because Tucker is leaving this week. It's sad to see all the people that I got to know when I arrived move on. On the other hand I met a couple of new people, Lisa and Dan, this weekend, and I get on with both of them like a house on fire. Looks like I'll be playing the part of the old-timer from now on. I had a great time in Guads though, as usual, generally going out in a way that isn't really possible in Guzmán, and watching football and going to the park, meeting new folks. Glad to be back home though, which is a bit weird, as I never expected to miss Guzmán as much as I seem to.

I'm off to Tecoman next weekend, I hope, if TPA pull their fingers out and return my calls. Mexican organisation is one thing that I won't miss, although sometimes it's good to be that laid back. The other thing I won't miss is cockroaches, which are starting to appear at this time of year. They also seem to hang out around our toothbrushes, which isn't that nice. Anyway, nothing that exciting has really happened, so until next time, tara.
