Sunday July 31 - Roommates
I don't know why, but my nails have been looking better than ever here. Maybe it is all the calcium I am eating in the tortillas? (After I got home, I realized that it was not having to wash dishes that made my nails look better.)
Alexis, the other renter, did not come home last night and we are all worried about her. She left rather late with a male friend after a very very long (an hour and a half) phone conversation with her boyfriend back home.
I got to hear the whole conversation because Pati, Pedro and I were watching a DVD downstairs and she was talking on the phone right there in the living room with us.
It was a total zoo. The film ("Gothika") was in English with Spanish subtitles.
Alexis was talking in English to her boyfriend, telling him how he was the only one to understand her and she wished he would come visit.
Cesar's 2 little kids were running around making a lot of noise, the older one "Mau" or Mauricio, while standing in front of the TV. Gloria was feeding apple to the little girl while talking in Spanish. So it was totally loud and chaotic and bilingual.
Anyway, I heard Alexis say to her boyfriend how frightened she had been by men in clubs grabbing her. She is really beautiful, half Black and half Mexican, very tall and thin, and she dresses very provocatively.
She mentioned that a taxi driver had tried to take her somewhere other than home the night before, and it really scared her.
So then right after that conversation, she goes out and doesn't come home.
Of course the Rodriguezes are worried.
The worst part is that the phone is dead, something to do with election-day sabotage.
The Rodriguezes are supposed to go on a long trip to see family up north this morning, and they don't want to leave until they know Alexis is safe. They are really the kindest people.
Norman, the new guy
We have a new student here who arrived last night. Norman is about 55 or 60, a school counselor from Washington near the Canadian border. He arrived last night after a 6-hour bus ride from Mexico D.F. (Mexico City - the DF stands for Distrito Federal, kind of like Washington DC - but people here often just call it "Mexico").
He brought lots of photos of his family and home, and nice presents for the Rodriguezes, a blanket with moose on it, a stuffed animal moose (not actual size), and a photo frame with northwest animals on it.
p.s. Alexis had gotten drunk and passed out at a male friend's house. Scandalous!
