In Progress

Hola everyone...

So I just made it to one week in Queretaro now without any drastic happenings.. My biggest priority here is finding a car, so I am desperately looking and I think I am pretty close.. Friday I will go look at a nice Laguna Grand Tourer V6 with all the possible bling.. and a sidebonus the owner turned out to be the manager of the large Fiesta Americana Hotel here in Queretaro so I hope to make a side-photo-deal with him..:-)

And today things got started for real in my small shop. I payed the next 6 months and my Mexican Fix-it-all man began to make the walls.. They have to have a clean surface before I paint them. And as a last thing I found the right sofa at the right price of 200dollars.. The 3-day work in the shop which includes flattening all walls and closing a door-opening is costing me 230dollars.. Not bad..:-)

Here´s the photo...

Ps.. Found out I am not the only Dane in Queretaro... Went to get the drycleaned shirts and the owner asked me where I was from and made big eyes when he heard... "So is my wife" he said.. So will be interesting to meet his wife, Rikke from Aarhus. :-)

Arrived..!

So I finally made it to Mexico which means my project has begun for real..! Scary..!

Arrived in Mexico city sunday the 13 of september and was greeted with thunder and lightning and dark rainfilled streets. I had decided to stay for the Independence day on the 15 of sep. which also made for a few days of relaxing and switching to Mexican time.

It decided to keep raining through the 15th but I went anyway since I haven´t previously seen the president take to the balcony of the national palace and make the famous "Grito".. cry for freedom. This cry was made originally by Father Miquel Hidalgo on the 15 of sep. in the year 1810 to declare war against the Spanish rule and is now a cry made all over Mexico. "Viva Mexico", "Viva la Indenpendencia" and "Viva el Pueblo" and so on...! Usually followed by fireworks and more music..

Today I am on my second day in Queretaro, the city I have decided to make my home for the unforseeable future...!! The sun is shining, the temperature a perfect 27degrees and my optimism is high..! Not to say that it isn´t a very strange situation to be in after all these years crawing for this exact situation.. because it is..!!

So now I will slowly begin to make my "To do" list and then get to work...

Wish me luck.. :-)

Hope all is well whereever you are..
