Mexico!

Pancho and I arrived safely in Mexico yesterday.  We had no problems- the flights were all on time and we didn't lose any luggage.  And we have been nonstop since we got here!

This morning I had my first class.  There are two others in my class that know about the same amount of Spanish that I do.  It was encouraging when I could understand almost everything the professor was saying.  The next couple weeks in the class will be fun, a little difficult because it is an intensive course, but fun.  I was in class from 8:30-1:00pm.  And, just for my American friends, if you go into a store and buy a bottled water you may want to make sure it isn't carbonated mineral water. 

Pancho and I have been busy planning our honeymoon.  We were going to take the cruise on the Caribbean.  However, when we arrived at the port they wouldn't let Pancho board.  The people working there didn't recognize Pancho's visa.  So even though we had all the credentials, they didn't want to take the risk and let us board.  Royal Caribbean has been great, though.  They were very sorry about what happened and the lady who helped us worked hard to get us 100% back.  And she did.  Some of it came back in cruise credit, so we are still planning on taking a cruise!  This time it is going to be a Mediterranean cruise!  I am really excited.  We're going to arrive in Rome a week early and spend some time there.  And then we'll go on an Eastern Mediterranean cruise, making stops in Sicily, Athens, Kusadusi, and Crete. 

We're busy, and I have yet to take any pictures.  But I'll put them up here when I have them!  Hopefully, this weekend we'll move into our apartment.  That is the biggest thing that we have to do right now.
