Relaxing

Despues del estres del viaje hasta la frontera, Diego y Jehudiel pasaron el dia descansando: se levantaron tarde, vieron el partido de futbol Francia vs. Brasil y se fueron al cine a ver Superman. Maniana me imagino que tendran un dia muy similar pues dudo que haya mucho que hacer alla donde estan. Pero esta bien porque la verdad es que si se merecian un descanso.

After all the stress that Diego and Jehudiel had in their trip to the border, they spent the day resting: they got up late, watched the soccer match France vs. Brazil and they went to the movies to see Superman. Tomorrow, I think, they'll have a similar day. I don't think there's much to do down there where they are at. But that's ok because they deserved a break.

proximas paradas/our next stops

Maniana temprano dejamos Tanglewood, la villa donde vivimos por 6 anios. Vamos a pasar el dia despidiendonos de varios amigos y dormiremos en casa de Belkis y Jeremy, unos amigos venezolanos. El lunes volamos a Mexico y llegaremos con Tomas y Marina, mis cuniados, pero posiblemente tambien andemos dando un tour por otras casas ya que estaremos 3 noches en el DF. Hasta el jueves estaremos llegando a Morelia, por lo que es muy probable que durante casi una semana no actualice este blog.

Tomorrow morning we'll leave Tanglewood, the village where we lived for 6 years. We'll spend the day saying goodbye to several friends and we'll spend the night at Belkis and Jeremy's house, some friends from Venezuela. On Monday we'll fly to Mexico and we'll stay with Tomas and Marina, my brother in-law and his wife, but we may end up staying at other friends' houses since we'll be in Mexico City for 3 nights. We'll go to Morelia on Thursday, so it's very likely that I'll won't post in this blog for almost a week.

Contratiempos de viaje/ travel misfortunes

Diego y Jehudiel han tenido varios contratiempos. Primero con el tanque de la gasolina del camion que se derramaba cuando paraban a cargar gasolina. Luego, con la mudanza mexicana que desde hace dos meses se les contacto para que hicieran el jale y salieron con que: "me confirman que no hay camion en la frontera". Ese problema se soluciono facil contratando a otra gente pero lo que ya no se pudo solucionar tan facil fue la importacion del carro. Tambien, desde hace dos meses se contacto al agente aduanal para hacer el tramite y segun ellos no habia problema pero resulta que dura 72 hrs. la importacion. Asi que Diego y Jehudiel pasaran el fin de semana en la ciudad fronteriza de Brownsville, Texas y hasta el martes cruzan la frontera y continuan con el viaje hacia Morelia.

Diego and Jehudiel have had several misfortunes. First of all, they had problems with the gas tank. It was spilling gas. Every time they stopped to fill up the tank the gas would come out. Then, the people of the moving company in Mexico said that they couldn't do the job because there was no truck there (even though Diego contacted them two months ago to do this job). But this problem was solved easily, he just got another person to do the job. The main problem that they faced was importing the car. Diego had also spoken with a agent two months ago to do all the paperwork but he never told him that this process took 72 hrs. So now Diego and Jehudiel are spending their weekend in the border city of Brownsville, Texas. They'll cross the border Tuesday morning to continue with their trip to Morelia.
