Buenos Noches-

Well after a week of arriving in Mexico City, we are starting to adjust to the different time schedule. Namely the different times meals are had. We tend to wake up around 8:30am, breakfast at 9:30 or 10am, lunch around 3, dinner around 9. It's kind of nice, because it seems to be more natural.

We have discovered that we moved to Mexico during the start of the rainy season here. During our daily outings (to restaurants, grocery stores, walks, etc) I have noticed that a good majority of dogs around here have rain jackets on. Similar to sweaters you see on dogs back in Minnesota, but it's a rain jacket. It's so cute! I have tried to convince Corey that we are depriving Avery and hindering her ability to fit in around here among the other dogs, but I think I have some more convincing to do :)

In the last few days, we have accomplished more outings into the areas of Mexico City to visit Office Depot, Home Depot and Wal-Mart, among other things. Corey has figured out a range of time to figure out how long it will take to get places. If there is no traffic, you can assume around 5 minutes per mile. With daily traffic, roughly 10 minutes per mile, and during rush hour traffic, 15-20 minutes per mile. Now, everything is usually within 3 miles of our apartment, however during rush hour traffic we are talking about a 3 hour long excursion to run a simple errand.

I thought of one more thing that I miss while being down here, and not in Minnesota. I am so used to being self-sufficient, able to run my own errands and do things in my own time, and I miss that. BUT, it's nice that most errands I will need to do can be accomplished by walking just a few blocks, once we get more acclimated to the area.

Well this has been long enough, plus we can't think of any quick tips for this post, so we'll end it here. Hope everyone has sweet dreams!
