Going loco down in Acapulco

I now have an address. contact me should you need it.
I can now say I live in an HLM!!!!
The flat is good as it our flat mate- Nico. So far getting on really well.
It was never going to be easy especially when drinking too much and not sleeping enough.
Jo and I are often in fits of laughter but occasionally nagging each other too.
We will need to get used to living out of the city but I reckon I'm just the girl to cope with it.
My compter is playing up again which is making me upset but I hope it shall sort itself.
We've come across this commune in the centre of town which is really exciting, they have such an amazing house, beautiful balconies, gigantic rooms. I hope to go back as the tennants are so laid back and down to earth. It reminded me of Norfolk sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting.
I am missing people but not getting upset about it. I think this is a good mentallity.

bonne nuit alors.

Nous sommes arrivées mais sans abris.

Well home hunting was not the dream we had anticipated.... no list of free accomodation provided at the youth hostel.
This country is sooooo bureaucratic; forms for everything, addresses needed to even find a home, you get nothing for just turning up- even this session i should have signed up for. It's so stressful and I cannot help feeling we hadn't been told enough, information had passed us by before we arrived.
Ahhhh I must go or i'll be fined a ridiculous sum.
I'm feeling fine though the emotional rollercoaster has not brought me to tears yet.....yet.

Last week in Britain

Well, after a summer in Britain, I don't feel too prepared to return to brie land. I have nearly a week in Italy beforehand which should be good fun. I look forward to spending a little time with my father. However it only gives me a day to pack for Bordeaux. The packing concerns me little next to the rollercoaster of a week I have in store, as I attempt to find somewhere to live with little time to do it in. This is a task I vowed to not set myself again, but here I am. Perhaps I just love the adrenalin rush of facing homelessness.... Having Jo there will be excellent, I really cannot wait, we shall get each other through it. I am sure. So now all I can do is pshyque myself up for another race against time. It's just about the unknown rather than a fear of immigration and homesickness.
