Tengo un lugar

So today Clemence calls me from the living room out onto the patio:

Mira, Jennifer, mira. El vaso de las bubuhas quedo un corazon. It's magic.

This means: Look, Jennifer, look. The cup with the bubbles left a heart. It's magic. And it was:


I mean it's perfect right.

Today was a good, no strike that, great day. I talked with Mom for like 2 hours. I got a late start on lunch and wasn't really ready on time, but no one said anything. I made chicken and some kind of salsa, which they ate, but I'm not sure liked. No one threw up. I guess that's a good sign.
After lunch I convinced Clemence to make cookies with me. We made sugar cookies with blueberries. It was the first thing I ut in the oven that came out tasting good, really good. I ate like 10 million.
The rest of the day was really nothing special, but it was good. I know that.

This weekend was also good, although I had a huge stomach ache thing the whole time. We went to the center on Saturday morning after swimming and looked around. There was a book fair at the Jardin Borda. Then we ate pizza at this little Italian place that has a GREAT view of the cathedral. I may just have to convince Mom and Dad to have some pizza there just to see the view.
Sunday we went to this market that was just starting up. It was a beautiful drive through a part of Cuernavaca I had never seen. There are so many beautiful houses and viveros (greenhouses). It was a gorgeous drive and less filled with the falling down buildings and garbage filled streets than most drives through the heavier populated center.
The market was not much to speak of. There was not much there. Granted it is just starting, but it is in an out of the way spot. It's supposed to be a place for organic growers to sell their things, but there was very little you couldn't get in another market. Nadine thinks it will fail because of the location and it does not seem to have very good organization. It's sad really. She was telling me how many growers here could be certified organic and sell their products on a large market if only some would come and organize a way to get it out there. They just don't have the money or knowledge to develop it into what it could be.
Sunday afternoon we had a nice lunch together at the house and then I went and had a little swim in the pool by myself. I love having a pool so close, and having the weather be nice enough to go in it.
Speaking of weather it's been gorgeous. The rains have made everything green and made everything clearer. The haze has lifter so you can see the mountains so clearly. I am in love with the mountains here. I will miss them. they surround the whole city and you can see them in the skyline wherever you look. It's beautiful.
