Ginny in Mexico: July 2006
http://ginnyinmexico.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 29, 2006. We had a chance to make a quick stop at my school yesterday to drop off my bags so we could travel around a little more easily. It looks like a pretty great place - very organized and professional. It is in a very nice part of town, and we drove by my apartment (I don't get the keys until next week) and it looks like it will work out perfectly. A few observations about life in Monterrey (and Mexico). The drivers are crazy! Everyone (when not driving a car) is very friendly and he...

Ginny in Mexico: March 2007
http://ginnyinmexico.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 23, 2007. At last. an update. I apologize. I haven't gotten anything up here in more than a month! It's been a busy couple of weeks (as usual), so I'll do my best to fill you in on what I've been up to. I celebrated my 26th birthday by going out for dinner and then going bowling. There were about 15 of us and yes, bowling can be a lot of fun! I'm horrible at it, and didn't really improve throughout the night, but I definitely laughed a lot. Sarah has posted a much longer summary of the week...

Ginny in Mexico: January 2007
http://ginnyinmexico.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 17, 2007. I keep meaning to update my blog, but it has been a bit of a whirlwind since I arrived back in Monterrey a week and a half ago. Saturday evening was a school New Year's party - a chance to ring in the new year with school friends. Laurie and I had some people over here before hand to order pizza and then headed up to the party. It was a good night, especially as it brought the elementary and high school staff together.

I had an afternoon nap to give me some extra energy.

Ginny in Mexico: February 2007
http://ginnyinmexico.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 21, 2007. This past weekend, I headed to Austin with 4 others to run in the Half Marathon that was happening on Sunday morning. We headed out from school on Friday afternoon, and arrived in Austin at almost 11pm. The drive is close to 7 hours! I did some outlet shopping on Saturday (had lots of success at Banana Republic! Which was a pleasant surprise when you didn't expect to have anyone cheering for you. I guess adrenaline and the crowd, and the gorgeous sun that came out gave me a ...

Ginny in Mexico: November 2006
http://ginnyinmexico.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 24, 2006. Thursday, November 23rd. I have finished my 3rd of 4 days of class and I can tell that my Spanish has improved. I’ve been able to have decent conversations over meals with my host family and I had to do some writing today in one of my classes, and I was able to write almost an entire page, needing to look up only a few words! French words still pop into my vocabulary, and I fear that whatever French I did know is slowing being pushed into the deep recesses of my brain. And doin...
