The Weekend...
We had made plans to head to the mountains for the weekend. We had the Holt travel agency book the hotel, got directions on how to get there and on Saturday morning we were off. They told us to leave about an hour before so we did. It was about 45 minutes in to the subway ride when Carlos was looking at the papers and said, "Um what hotel are we staying at?" Right then and there I knew in my gut that they never gave us info on the hotel. The agency printed out info on the bus and how to get there but no info on the hotel. Anyways from my research I knew that there are only two hotels in the area so we still attempted to make it. It was going to be an adventure. I was so mad at myself for letting this happen. We get to the bus station and look at the clock. It was a scene from a movie. We had 8 minutes and the line looked like it would take 45 minutes to stand in. So we walked away. I was so frustrated! I knew if we went out town the weekend would fly by, plus I need to get out of the city. I need a little breathing room. But instead we headed back to the subway and back to the room. Our weekend actually flew by. Saturday I was able to cook dinner which was so nice! And on Sunday we did a little shopping saw a movie in english and ate our last pickles and pizza. Its Monday morning now. Today is the day! We will see you all on the other side! Because of the lack of exciting adventures this weekend we really don't have any pictures. See you soon. H
Can't wait!
