Update #2

Just to let you guys know, I will be coming home on April 13th to try and find a job in Winnipeg. Things are good with Jason here, though Ana has become really sick, but the vet gave her antibiotics and we go see him again tomorrow and then Monday again. So keep your fingers crossed.
It has been really hectic around here, as Jason had to move from his other house, in with his buddy Ricardo, who has two dogs already. A Dachshund's named Bono and a dalmatian named Jack.But to top it all off, this past week has been Spring Break, where some lucky people have had the week off, like Jason and his housemate Ricardo. So, Ricardo's girlfriend and her parents, and their two dogs came to stay in the house as well. Cecilia also is the proud owner of Bono's brother, Rocky. Very cute.

So they were always kind and invited us along so we got to ride around the countryside and consume so much food and alcohol. But it was also really traumatic for Ana, who got sick this week, so it's nice to have some peace and quiet again.

Here's a ranch with a sense of humor.

Anyway, I will try to post more pics before I go, otherwise, I will see those of you in Winnipeg when I get there.

Update

Sorry guys, recently I have been having internet problems out here and when have come online to post pics, it hasn't worked out. But now I will give you a picture summary of what has been going on here in Mexico.

Well, Jason and I have been spending a lot of time together. My first weekend here before I started teaching we went to a beach called La Manzanilla, which was beautiful and peaceful.


I also have made friends here with a girl named Alex who is from Saskatchewan and doing an exchange at Jason's school. So we went out together with some of Jason's older students to celebrate her 22nd birthday. She's the blond in the white shirt. We smoked from what is called in Spanish a Shisha.


Here's a shot of the two volcanoes of Colima. The one that isn't such a pronounced hill is the dormant one that Jason has climbed and the other one is actually an active volcano.

The really big news would be the arrival of Ana, a dog that decided to adopt us. We came home one day to find her in Jason's walled in yard, all happy, friendly, and peppy. We cleaned her up, started feeding her, and put out an announcement in case anyone had lost her. When nobody claimed her, we kept looking for a home for her, but eventually decided we wanted to keep her. If all goes well then she will be going home with Jason to Texas in May.
