The Beat Goes On

Still no news about the stolen goods, nor do I expect any. Helena and I have to go back to the guardia civil to give them more information (thanks to Dad I now have the serial number for my laptop). We got the locks changed and now are careful to put the apartment in complete lock down every time we leave.Thanks to everyone for your e-mails and comments, all one really wants in a situation like this is sympathy!
In other news, I found a place that will sell me insurance on my US driver's license! Of course it will cost me an "eye off my face" as they say here, but I'll still convinced it will be worth it.Tomorrow I go to put money down on the car! Any ideas for good names? It's bright blue, I haven't decided if it's hembra or macho (male or female) yet.
Last night I went to the parent teacher meeting. It's always interesting to meet the parents, often the students make a lot more sense... Today is my first day of English Club. I'm a bit nervous because I'm still not sure what to do and I feel like there's all this pressure to set the stage. I completely forgot that tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I have to plan a little something for the students. I think Joana and I are going to throw a "Tex-Mex" thanksgiving feast for our friends here. Meaning we will make mexican food and try to country dance (Joana is from Texas). It should make for an interesting Thanksgiving, in which we will truely celebrate the coming together of many cultures. I figured I could throw in some Hendrix and Pearl Jam as my offering, and perhaps see if I can convince any poor soul to play cribbage with me.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
