Miguel found out they have video games in Mexico too. He is playing a car game with one of the boys last night at dinner. They are a very nice family and they live towards the edge of town. Unfortunately for them they live near where many of the killings have been happening (most of the killings are drug cartel related, though some have been caught in the cross fire). They were considering moving back to their hometown before the soldiers arrived a few weeks ago. They said it has been much better since the soldiers arrived. (we have seen many of them on patrol). The only bad thing is that now the police won't come out when there is an emergency. They tell you to call the soldiers instead! Scared or lazy? That is the question!
Here is Miguel just hanging out like usual.
This is a picture of the major street near the hotel that has lots of stores, a mall, and restaurants...including a pizza hut for Miguel! The bus in the photo is one of the city buses. It looks like they buy old school buses from the states, paint them and use them for their city buses. From what we watched you have to hop on fast. Sometimes the driver doesn't wait until you are all the way on the bus before he takes off!

Tomorrow is Nacho's visa interview. What we are hoping for is that he is told he is eligible to file a waiver of his inadmissability! I will let you know when he gets out. It should be a long day!
