No sign of my roommates but I trust they will be along in the next few days. The cat is getting a little bit crazy with only me around, but so far I can halfway keep her under control.
Class is good. It's almost like a private class and Ihave only one other student, Diana from the US. We only talk in Spanish. After class today I went with Diana and one other students to help them get and use local cell phone chips. I really enjoyed how much better I could function in Spanish now than even 3 weeks ago when I tried to do the same thing.
After a nap, I was going to take a shower but discovered there was no running water, hot or cold. The North American in me, thought what do I do?
1. Check in with the building and see if there is a larger problem?
2. Email my roommates to see if they remembered to pay the water bill?
3. Try and see if I could find a valve or some ther spot where water wasn't flowing?
The answer came from the South American. Don't do anything. So I took a long walk ran into a couple of friend and watched some people play rubgy in the park. When I came back the water was magically working. Problem solved.
My walk was through Bellavista (thanks for the recommendation Lacey). I eventually stumbled across the place that Filipe and Damian took me for beers my second day in the apartment. I might go back with friends tonight or I might just stay in.

You're either South American now or a Cleveland Heights resident for as much as our water goes out. :) Wait until the power goes out . . .
ok- enough now- here in Atlanta it is 19 with wind chill and snow showers! Come home and make this stop! At least i do have alot of hot water but with the water shortage, that won't last long! Ha Ha
Thanks. Can't do anything about the weather but maybe I'll be permanently more laid back and it will rub off when I get back.
