Bienvenido!

Welcome and thanks for visiting my blog!  I set this up in hopes of corresponding between my friends and family in the U.S. while I study abroad in Merida, Mexico.  I hope to give you a little piece of the fascinating culture and lifestyle of the people in Merida. Please come back again soon and check for daily updates while I am abroad!

Possibly my biggest frustration

One of the most frustrating things for me here in Mexico is the internet connection.  Its not that they don't have internet, because they do.  They have internet just about everywhere: cafes, parks and even fast food restaurants.  The problem is that it seems not to like my American computer.  Or maybe its that my American computer doesn't like it?  (Thats about as far as my computer technology skills can go)

Regardless, the point is that it takes me so much longer to do the simplest things.  Like load pictures.  Or write a blog post.  If I'm lucky enough to establish connection, I usually either get kicked off before I finish what I'm doing or I my attention span gets the better of me and I quit.

This leaves me in my current situation: nearly a week behind on blog posting.  So I have gone to Segafredo's, the nearest cafe and my second home.  I have my cafe and I'm in it for the long run.  What follows are the posts I should have written about several days ago!

My Lesson of the Day: Falling behind is easy, but catching up always takes time!
