What have we been up to lately?

Gera went to Stokholm for a week (conference). This time I did not get to go, but according to him, it wasn’t so great (maybe he’s just saying…). He had a good time and came home with some nice pictures.

Remember I said I loooved youtube? Well, we have been watching an asian version of youtube, called todou.com. They have even MORE shows, and we’ve been watching them like crazy! Currently we’re all caught up with “The Office” (love Dwight!) and "How I Met your Mother” (love Barney!). There’s another site for shows called fanpop.com.

We have been thinking about going to Juarez for Christmas. When we left we said we would not go back until it was time to go back for good. We said that we’d rather spend the money traveling around Europe. Why go back to a place you already know when there’s still so much to discover, and everything is so close? Family and friends. We miss them like crazy and spending another Christmas alone is not painting a pretty picture. So I’ve been looking around for flights (YAY!). Unfortunately we would only be going to Juarez, so seeing a lot of you would not be possible, but still: YAY!

It took me forever to post the rest of the travel blog. That always seems to happen, hehe. I had some of it typed up, and I guess some is better than none, so I’ve posted that below.

We are finally done with our German course! We’ve officially completed sections A1 and A2, the entire program is A1, A2, B1, B2, C1. C2, so we’ve done 1/3 of it, not bad!. I will start looking into other courses for the fall, we really need a break for now.

I’ve just posted another recipe on my recipe bolg: jazibesrecipes.blogspot.com, go check it out!

I’ve been busy putting together an online portfolio and and website for my freelance business. The problem with the portfolio was that I did not have all the files I needed, and I had to make do with what I had on my hard drive (everything else is on storage in Juarez). Oh well. Hopefully that will bring me some work and keep me busy… I miss design! (so if you or someone you know need a website, let me know!)

We went to the Harry Potter movie premiere! I had mentioned before that going to the movies was really expensive, but my friend Flor has a cinecard and she gets a great discount, so she bought the tickets and we all went together. The movie was disappointing! I think it is the worse so far… the action scenes were great, its just that the plot was very shaky, uncertain, and very “choppy”. Maybe its because I’ve read the books, but I think it could have been much better. I am waiting for the new book: “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, it comes out this weekend.

Abril and Roberto are getting settled in their new apartment in Minneapolis. Roberto has started going to the hospital and Abril has someone to keep her company at home: our brother Paco is visiting for the summer. You can read about her (and her knitting habits) in her blog: knitting-en-spanish.blogspot.com

I think that is all for now… I will post new pictures soon.
