Mexico Blurb

"Mexico, forgotten by time and commerce, run roughshod over by successive revolutions, languishing in backward politics and economic straits, still breaths that air of possibility. Buildings lie unused, awaiting the restorer's hand. Threatened species survive here. Dreams range, hidden from the global advance of capital that erases culture and difference."

...An excerpt from On Mexican Time by Tony Cohan, which I am currently reading.

The address for PACKAGES!

So, I decided that shipping things to Mexico will most likely be a necessity. I e-mailed the teacher-recruiter and she gave me the school's Guadalajara address. This is where packages can be sent.

It's interesting, I know. We'll see how this works.

The coolest phone thing EVER!

Yay! Here is a really cool way for you to keep in touch with me! AIM came out with a free internet phone that I can use to recieve incoming calls (I can't make calls without paying a monthly fee). So, here is how it works..
-I got a local (Edgewater) phone number. It is (386) 663-9119

- You can call it, and my computer will ring. Once I get the right headset/microphone thing I can answer and we can talk.

-OR, you can leave a voicemail message! I get an e-mail saying you called, and I can go check my voicemail!

You have no idea how exciting it is to get an e-mailed voicemail. And I'm not even away from home yet.
So, test it out whenever! Today! Tomorrow! Remember, the number is (386) 663-9119.
(I sound like an infomercial)

Thanks!

I just want to give a big thanks to all who came to the Fiesta! It was great to see everyone and I hope to keep in touch with everyone over the next few years! I love you all! Next step.... pack everything into my suitcases! WooHoo!
