I have arrived

Sorry I did not update before leaving, but I am in Torreon, Mexico now living in Casa D de dedo with 4 other girls. Our house is huge and would be awesome if we could decorate or paint the walls, but we can’t! So we are going to buy some plants and things to put on all of our end tables and on top of the fridge and other places as well! Each of us have our own room which includes a walk-in closet, a bathroom with a toilet and shower inside it and a sink on the outside with a mirror. Also there is a twin size bed, a four shelve book shelf, a desk, and a bulletin board. There are two bedrooms on the main level and three upstairs also with our laundry room. Our living room has a huge entertainment center with nine (I think) squares you can put things on a dvd player, vcr, and a television. The living room has two couches, 2 end tables and opens up right into the kitchen. The kitchen is very nicely furnished. We have a wood table with 8 chairs around it, a little island, and a lot of cupboards, a pantry, a fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee pot, blender, dishes, pots and pans. Outside the front door is our courtyard which is shaded with trees along one side.
The house is situated between two other school houses- the returning teacher’s house and the male teacher house. It is only two blocks away from school. On the opposite side of school is an internet café. Two blocks the other direction is casa a & b which is other female teachers. On the corner of our street there is an ice cream store called bips where we got iced coffee. Across the street from bips is a OXXO gas station, a pharmacy, and a little restaurant. About 5-6 blocks away is a Soriana and 12 blocks away a Wal-mart which we visited to buy cleaning supplies, groceries, and better pillows!
