Quick Entry

Here is a quick entry while I am waiting for Paul...

Our TV is broken. Luckily Mexico is not a place where you throw out everything that breaks, you take it to the repair shop a half block from your house. More on this developing story when more news is available. Hopefully it won't take long and we'll have the playoffs back on.

In the mean time we have resumed our Rummy Game! Remember our rummy game? Well, if not I'll bring you up to speed. On our first trip abroad together we started an ongoing rummy match-up. That was in Auguest of 2000. We have played this rummy game all across Europe, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Guatemala and now Mexico. As of last night here is the score, remember first one to 100,000 wins: (Wins what ou ask? I have no idea, bragging rights, I guess) Paul: 70,380 Melissa: 70,290

Oh yeah, I don't think I ever mentioned the ant wars. Apparently there are ants at war around our apartment. At night they come into our apartment and fight - to the death. At first I thought maybe it was a mating ritual thing but now I'm not so sure. It seems to me (though I am not an ant war or mating expert) that they usually both die, which made me think it was a war, not mating. To tell you the truth I have no idea what it is but I do know that in the morning I sweep at least 10 ants out the front door... weird.

That's all for now except that weve been invited to party this weekend, in a little town outside of Merida. Oh boy! We might rent a car too and go visit our friends in Santa Elena. Hope that works out! eeek!
