just a quickie

Hey friends!

Sorry we haven't written in so long, but we have now moved into our apartment but we don't have internet there yet... We have signed a contract with a company (turns out it's more difficult than we thought, they have to see if there are "lines" available in our area, and one company anyway didn't have any lines for us, but we found one that had). We signed saturday so they should come install it within the next 15 days(!!!!).

Other than that, we have been busy with getting our visas too stay here. Turns out we can't do it the easy way that immigration suggested at first, so we have to do it the complicated way. And no joke, it's complicated. We had our finger prints taken twice the same day, we had to find a lawyer to write us official letters, we have to present about 20 photocopies of our passport to basically anyone who talks to us. We now have to go get a physical at a specific hospital, and wait, wait and WAIT for some of our things to be processed so we can bring them to continue on with the visa processes... It's annoying but we are keeping our spirits high.

We are still very happy with the apartment, it's very sunny and thus warm! The weather here has been great. We have been buying tons of DVDs for 1$ each - we don't have a tv so movies are our best friends.

Oh, and some of you might have heard about the protests and mayhem happening in Santa Cruz yesterday? Well no worries, we barely knew anything happened. There was just a little bit more cops around and more firecracker' noises. But that's it. The trouble was in Santa Cruz.

That's it for now, we still have tons of errands to run! We do check the internet about once a day so feel free to email and/or comment!
