Summer vacation

Saturday was the 4th of July. It was a bit strange to celebrate it in Mexico, but fun nonetheless. Marlies had a party at her house and invited just about anyone who lives in Pachuca. It was a great time, but maybe just a little too much drinking on my part. Sunday we had a post 4 de julio fiesta at Marlies' house. We pulled all of her living room furniture out into her yard and drank micheladas. Once again a bit too much drinking on my part. Besides that, it was basically a perfect day. I am watching Margaret's cat for the vacation. Se llama Nolita y es muy pero muy traviesa. Today she ripped a hole in my brand new bag of bread and pulled down my curtains. Sometimes it's nice to have the company though. My dad got back to Michigan today after 3 months on the Appalachian trail. I'm proud that he made it to his halfway point and wish I could see him this summer. Today I plan to clean my apartment and watch movies. Being a teacher is the life. Some of the time.
