Second Haircut

Second haircut

We got Nathan his second haircut yesterday. He looks really cute. The crazy thing is the traffic on the way there was horrible. They had blocked off a main street and directed to go through a back road that lead to a line of cars waiting to pick up their kids for school. It was 15 minutes before we realized we were waiting in line to pick up our kid from school. We finally got out of that and on the way, but it took us a lot longer to arrive than it should have.

5 Things we miss about Dunedin

Easter

Due to Matt’s comment on the previous post, we are proud to present our list of 5 things we miss from Dunedin, Florida.

  1. Dinner at the Kalil’s house every Tuesday night. We used to eat chicken parm every Tuesday night with some of the coolest people in the world. After dinner, we would go to church for Livewire, a crazy skateboarding program we had at church. We miss those days.
  2. Flag football with all our old crazy youth group kids. We used to play in a flag football league every Saturday morning during the fall with a bunch of crazy kids. We were pretty good, too. We had a good team that always seemed to finish second. But we were definitely the best looking team in the league.
  3. Our home church and all the people there. We miss the fellowship with all the people from our home church. They are great people, and we always look forward to seeing them again.
  4. The causeway (sunsets, just being close to the beach). We now live at least 4 hours from the beach, and although we don’t like sand, the sunsets in Dunedin and the wind blowing on the beach are awesome things.
  5. Marble Slab ice cream (tied with Outback Steakhouse). We couldn’t get through this list without mentioning two of the greatest culinary delights around. We love the ice cream at Marble Slab (we used to go there at least once a week) and of course the steak at Outback.

Protest video

Here’s a little video I found on Youtube today about the tents that are all over Mexico City protesting the election results. The street that all those tents are on is usually the main road going through downtown. Right now, it’s all blocked by people who are upset about the election. Who knows when it will be resolved.

Honorable Mention

The terms for being picked for honorable mention in my previous post are as follows:

The places that qualified for honorable mention are places that we either do not visit weekly (i.e. the Torbert’s house, McDonalds, Comercial Mexicana, Home Depot or Plaza Satelite) or places where work could possibly be done (i.e. Starbucks). The places we do not visit weekly are places we visit probably every other week. Sorry for any confusion. Being on the “places we frequent” list does not necessarily make these places we like to visit.

In the case of the Torbert house, we LOVE to go over there, often unnanounced. Sometimes, we like to stay really late so people don’t do their homework, etc. Anyway, just wanted to clear that up (since they are some of the only people who read this blog anyway).

Five places we frequent

Since we already gave you 5 places to visit in Mexico City, here are the 5 non-work related places we visit every week along with the things we buy there or do:

  • Costco: We go there to buy milk (imported from the US), diapers, chicken, and beef. Nathan likes to sample the cheese they’re always giving out.
  • Wal-Mart: Now that they opened the new one, it’s become our favorite place to get most of our groceries, vegetables, and other things.
  • Sam’s Club: We love going here for diapers and mini chocolate donuts (they’re delicious).
  • Fun Burger and Coffee: This place is a great place for Nathan to play. We’ll pretty much buy anything for an excuse for Nathan to play on their playground. We usually get Krispy Kremes in this plaza, and then we take Nathan to the playground.
  • Los Arcos: This is our favorite taqueria (taco restaurant). Janell always orders alambre con queso, while I like tacos al pastor, and we order a taco de bistec for Nathan.

Honorable Mention: Comercial Mexicana, Plaza Satelite, Torbert house, Home Depot, McDonalds, Starbucks
