There hasn't been much going on around here. After the excitement of buying our tickets to go to the US, there's been a lull in activities... but here's what we've been up to:
Gera's IU advisor + wife (Gary + Susan) came to town and we got to hang out with them. We went to dinner to a very cool restaurant with an awesome view, and the next day I did some tourist-guide action with Susan. It was great to see them again (we hadn't seen them since Sicily last Febreuary), but it was a quick visit, and it was over before we could say Luxemburgerli (traditional merengue treats from Srpüngli, a local chocolate/pastry shop).
I've also been meeting with my friends and making new ones. I met Rocio a few weeks ago, and we quickly hit it off. She is also from Mexico, and also from the North (like me). We went to her house for birthday cake and had a great time.
The Spring festival known as Sechselauten was last weekend. I've written about it before (where they burn a paper snowman to predict the summer season). Unfortunately it was raining that day, so we skipped it and just watched it on TV. It took fo-re-ver for the snowman to explode... maybe because it was wet?
Gera's birthday is next sunday, so I will have lots of pictures to share with you then. I think he wants to go out for drinks saturday night, and just have cake and relax on sunday. Whatever we end up doing, I will document to share with you.
