It is a beautiful day in Taxco - cool and sunny after rain last night. I listened in to services in Fairbury this morning and afternoon - thus the song and verse reference. I liked that I could tell who was preaching. :)
A quick update on what's going on...
Yesterday I went with a few of my friends for a ride on the "teleferico" - these little cable car things that take you up to this mountain on the outskirts of Taxco. There were some really neat views and a restaurant/hotel at the top where we got some wonderful Mexican food! After that episode, I came home and did all my laundry and homework for a while, and then met Emily at the Galeria Caffe - one of our new favorite spots - and we talked for a while. It was a good day. Here are a few pictures:
From left to right, this is Hillary, Rachel, me, and Emily on the side of a hill overlooking Taxco.
To get there, we rode in that little yellow cable car thing. Well, maybe not that exact one. But it looked like that. How I took the picture, it looks like it's attached to that house - which it obviously is not - sorry about that. :)
If you look at the second story of this building, where the windows are arched, kind of, behind the pool, that's where the restaurant is that we ate it. It had a great view and great food!I also got to talk to my family on the phone last night, which was great. But it sounds like I might have to call again tonight because Seth, while I'm glad you made it home alive, it is not ok to email me and tell me you broke your finger without offering an explanation. :)
I'm looking forward to another week of school and learning and growing. I have my first test on Monday covering a significant amount of information, so that will be a challenge. Hopefully later this week I will post some more pictures of where I live and where I go to school. Please keep praying! God is good.

You should start a shuttle service that provides accountancy advice enroute...
The Taxco Taxi & Tax Co. Just a thought, if you run out of pesos.

haha. I was just wishing someone would clear up my life goals for me. thanks for stepping up to the plate and helping me solve my problems, like always. :)
while pesos really confuse me, the great thing about them is I can take out tons of pesos and it doesn't take out a bunch of dollars. For example, if, hypothetically, I punched in $1000 pesos into the ATM machine, I could go to my online banking and it would only show up as like $75 or $80. That's the cool thing about pesos... but now that I think about it, that's about the extent of my knowledge about them too. So maybe just the Taxco Taxi Co. But I can't really drive stick shift either. So... any other ideas?
