Feliz dia del pasqual!

Not a whole lot has happened in the past few days because it has been a lot of lounging around the house and relaxing, and doing homework haha. Last night Angelica (Andreas' girlfriend) came over and we watched Gladiator on TV in Spanish... I kept on waiting for the commercial to get up and get something to drink, but after about an hour or so of waiting for the commercials I realized they were never going to come.... a long movie like Gladiator, unedited and full length by the way, and NO COMMERCIALS on regular ol' cable TV, not pay per view or a dedicated movie channel anything.

Andreas bought some "Coronitas" because they reminded him of the time he spent working in Hawaii. Coronas, you know, the common Mexican beer, for some reason that we don't quite understand undergoes a name change when marketed to Spain, even though they are bottled in Mexico just like the rest.

I was hoping to do a little shopping and such during my break, exploring of the city and get a few photo-ops with Elephant, but it seems like my plans continue to be foiled... the weather has been pretty lousy the days that the stores are open, and the only days where it hasn't been pouring down rain the stores have been closed on holiday, haha. Oh well, there is time still.

The Easter Bunny doesn't visit the Spanish, although last night during our little movie-party Andreas said "oh Angelica! The strangest thing just happened, I saw a rabbit in the kitchen! Come look!" and when she went to go look in the kitchen, there was a vase full of red and white roses waiting for her. Apparently for the Spanish, the tradition is that the godmothers/fathers give gifts to their "children", chocolate chicks and things like that.

I went to bed a bit late last night (Well okay, late for me, not late for the Spanish) and I got up really early to catch the Formula 1 race at 8am... unfortunately I fell asleep about halfway through and missed the end of the race and Merche didn't bother to wake me up. I woke up during the post-race report and decided to retire to my bed once more. I had never seen a Formula 1 race before, and it was actually pretty entertaining... unlike Nascar, haha.

Well there really isn't much else to say, I just wanted to let you all know I was still alive and well and such. Hope the Easter Bunny didn't forget about my American friends :-)
