We made it!

After a 12 hour flight that was only slightly dampened by the knowledge of UGA's performance and the intermittent snoring of the balding man sitting behind us, we are finally here! We were picked up at the airport and whisked to our new digs. The drive into town took about 20 minutes and the views outside were nice. Lots of horses! I don't know if we drove through the bad part of town or not, but it was nowhere as bad as Atlanta's bad parts. Mexico this is not! After meeting with our school rep  to learn the rules (apparently they expect a much younger crowd as rule #1 was no alcohol abuse ie. drinking games, and rule #4 was no spend the night parties) we took a nap.
Fully refreshed we went out to get some grub (fabulous pizza with olive and egg) and do some exploring. We ended up at this huge park where they were having a spring festival with an artist market, puppets, a band and all kinds of food. Brent and I sat on the hill listening to the music. As a guy came around selling icy cold beer by the bottle, I looked at Brent and said, "We are 5000 mile from home and I couldn't be happier!"
Later!
