Things are looking up again. Just when things were looking bleak, we found a better rental. We went to view it today and it is perfect. It is two blocks from the school and it's already furnished. We move in tomorrow at 6:00pm. Much better than the other place and also in a good neighbourhood. It costs 1500 pesos a month, which is about 150 canadian dollars a month. Rentals are very cheap here. The water will cost us about 60 pesos a month and I don't know about electricity yet. For gas, we buy canisters.
We had a change of heart this morning too and sent Liam to school after all. Maybe we subconsciously knew that things would work out by the afternoon.

that's awesome that you got a place! once you get settled in you will start to feel more at home there i bet. will you be able to walk to all the places you need from there? it sounds so nice there, it sure is snowy here. it's only -5 but it feels really freezing cause we arent used to it yet! i'm glad you are able to write so often, good luck in your new place.
Wow! $150 per month for a whole furnished house and only $6 for water??!!! Allison and I are moving into a bigger place next month that is $1050 per month. I'm glad you were able to post some pics now. So far it looks almost exactly like I pictured it. What an adventure!
150 eh ...... (head scratch and mental calculation) well maybe hmmmmm. 1500 euros to rent a 2 bedrooom flat in dublin. maybe we'll try for mexican citizenship instead.
ha!
great, I knew things would get better.
How is the bug situation over there?
wow...that's a really good deal...
I'm glad things are working out now!! Lets see some more pictures and stuff?! I left a comment on the pessimism topic as well. Keep it up!! Maybe we can visit next year??
Me gustaria estar ayi con usted, enves de aqui con el nieve en Edmonton!!
hey Great you have gone to far&put tomuch time into this project not for it to work out for you. we are enjoying the pictures, so take care full speed ahead god bless grandpa jim & GRAMMIE CHAR
yeah dublin, dublan, the names are so similar.
i´m so glad you are all reading these and commenting. keep it coming! i´m starting to get all choked up. it´s not making me come back or anything though.
we can walk to church or school or the bus stop in about 5 minutes.
oh and the bug situation is not so bad. we only saw the one cockroach, lots of big black beatles, lots of huge grasshoppers, some flies, mosquitos, etc. i think i like them better when they are bigger because then they can´t sneak up on you as easily.
it´s not as bad as i was expecting but then again, it´s not the middle of summer.
