Starting Over in Chacras De Coria
Hola friends and family in Los Estados Unidos! We have had a rough time trying to get set up with internet and various other services but we DO have a Wi-Fi cafe right acoss the street from the school...
We do have a house now, the kids have started school and sports, we are making friends, and getting to know the area pretty well....
We are hoping you will find time to make comments on our blog or check in with email....We still miss all of you very much and want to know how things are going for all of you...
Ciao for now, K

Hola.......(Izzy)
Hola, mi amigos!
I am back yet again, with news! Daniel is starting... (drum roll, please...)
RUGBY!!!
Yay, Daniel! As he has already told some of you, it is a great opportunity for learning the language, and getting friends, and all that jazz. I think that it will be fun for him.
How is life in the glamorous California (and all the other places you might be reading this from?)? We miss your lovely comments on our lovely blog..
For those in school, how is school? For those at work, how is work? My school is going great, but i am very glad that it is finally the weekend. I was getting tired from going to new friends´ houses all week. They are all so nice, but I need a break!
Here are their names:
Elena
Bianca
Valentina (spanish for valentine)
Maria
Clara
Clara (again)
Macarena (yes, like the dance,)
Hannah
Ana
And then all the rest that I can´t quite remember (sad, I know.)
Until the next time we find this internet place again,
Izzy

On to Mendoza!(Izzy)
Hey people!
We are here in Mendoza! For the moment we are renting an apartment and searching very hard for a place to live. Tomorrow we are going to see a house that is a possibility. Because we are staying for a reasonably short time, we have decided to rent instead of buy a house. The only large purchase we have made is the car. It is too hard and long a process to sell these things, so renting makes more sense.
I will update you on our progress as we search!

New car issues (izzy)
Hello, hello, hello!
If you don't know already, we have bought a car and all the necessary emergency stuff, like a little fire extinguisher and an emergency triangle. It has manually locking doors and you have to turn a handle to open the windows, plus it's a stick-shift, but nonetheless it runs and the air conditioning works (yay!!!!)
We left it sitting on the opposite side of the street (locked) with all the other cars, it blended in, it was a neutral color, etc. How do you think we felt when we woke up only to discover that someone had smashed the lock and stolen a tire? Of course, everyone said, "Well, no wonder it got broken into. You left it out." Yeah, and so did at least ten other people on the block!
It's fixed, we bought a storage thingy for the top to hold some larger luggage (the car turned out to be a little smaller than we thought. Everything is set.
And then we figure out that all the luggage doesn't fit. Yahoo. So we rearrange the bags, scoot everyone a little closer to each other (not so fun) and eliminate a suitcase. Woo, time to go! Nope, it's too late in the day, we have to wait until tomorrow. That is going to turn out a little harder, because we just packed the car.
Deep breath.
It will all work out in the end, but I am really hoping that this is the last thing that goes wrong. Maybe this little car is cursed. Well, too bad, we already bought it. We have to live with what we've got.
Grr.
Ah, well. At least we have a car.
Moving tomorrow, and I don't know that next time I will get to blog, so bye-bye to everyone until the next time!
Love,
Izzy
