Address and Buses

Lo siento, I put two addresses on the blog and I am very certain that the first address is the one to send mail to if you so desire! Here it is again!

Jill Gort
C/O Jan Van Ee
Calle 14 #176 14 X 23
Frac. Jardines de Miraflores
Merida, Yucatan, Mexico

Mail usually takes 4-6 weeks to arrive but it is much appreciated!

I am currently at the University using their computers which are available to all students. I will be able to communicate but we are encouraged not to do too much, so we shall see how often!(I will do as much as I can).

Today was my first encounter with the buses alone! There are many buses that run down my street and most of them are full when I stick my hand out to show I need one seat! However all of the buses run to el centro so I finally found a larger bus with lots of seats! I met my professor and compañeros in front of the cathedral and we made it to the university with no problems! The buses were one of my biggest fears, especially since a great friend of mine told me stories of how she got lost on the buses!

That is all for now, it is very difficult for me to write in English,crazy as that many seem, but I start to revert to spanish and then have to start all over again!

Les quiero y Les extraño mucho!

Jill

Aren't the cathedral and the plaza gorgeous?! The trees, the "S" benches, the pigeons, Casa de Montejo, that bg long building across from the Cathedral (I'm thinking it was a library but that doesn't sound right), all the old buildings actually... I am seriously missing all of that really bad right now! The music, the food, the language, the people, the whole culture in general!
We'll I'm glad you have not gotten lost yet and that you had an extra day to find your way around a little! Hope class goes well tomorrow!
