Our first challenge: Apartment Hunting

I now have great sympathy for anyone "househunting". Especially those in a foreign country other than their own. We have been looking since we arrived, but have not found quite what we are looking for, but there are two we are considering. What we learned (the hard way) was that all the real estate agents here share the lists of available apartments. What does that mean? At 7:00 last night with agent #5 we were seeing the same apartment we saw at 11:00am with agent #2. Well we didn't like the first time, and needless to say we didn't bother to see it the second time.
Our only consolation yesterday was discovering that 3 liters of good beer was 4 bucks.

More soon,
me

Dear Hugo,

Be persistant. You'll find something. I moved three times while I lived in Mexico. Does the University have student housing? If you can not go through them, they might know some one.

Love , Mom

Hello to the happy couple,
Sounds like things are a bit of a challenge. Something wonderful is waiting for you. Something sanitary and inexpensive, I hope.

Adam is just over a month now and who knows if it was a coincidence, but he smiled the whole time I sang Happy One Month Birthday!

Love you & Miss You, Cherri
