All in all. Fantastic. Moving around like that I had the pleasure and opportunity to have MANY roomates at any given time. Some were great, some were not.... LOL. I was always the only Canadian, and used to laugh when I'd hear " You dont' look Canadian, You don't dress Canadian" - How do we look and dress?? That I'll never seem to get... LOL. In all fairness, most of my roomates were from NYC - they lived and breathed NY. They admitted they just didn't think outside of NYC. I now get it. I was there visiting them in March and it is unbelievable!!!
Okay, so I'm getting off track..... Back to business. I received an email from one of my old roomies who was letting me know that she just got a job at the US Consulate in Merida, and will be moving down in May for 2 years!!!!!!!!! I am sooooo excited. I havent' seen her in ages!! The job sounds pretty decent to boot! They are supplying her with a home to live in, a decent salary, and a 2 year contract. Wow.
Old roomie is a very smart woman. She is a born and raised Texan - blonde and beautiful. She moved down to Cancun YEARS ago - worked at a few resorts in sales, and then back to Texas to complete law school. She studied spanish in Costa Rica for 3 months, and then moved back to Cancun. Where we met. I ended up leaving before she, but she did get transferred to Turks and Caicos for a year or two.... Now she's headed back to a place she LOVES to call home. Mexico!!!
I am so happy to have a friend who will be close by, and happy that she is just SO happy!!! (cliche???!!!)
Bienvenidos rooomie!!!!!
Oh and foor good old times - how about a picture blast from the past!!!

Teehee, how do Canucks dress? What is our identity? The age old question I guess, lol. That's great that you've got a friend headed to Merida, you'll have to take a road trip and check out that beautiful city!
Hahaha - yes, I bet you've been asked all sorts of questions too!! So happy to have an old friend move sorta close??!!! Have been to Merida, but only once and would LOVE to get back there!!!!! It's got to be a favourite of mine!!!
I've ben told I can "pass" as Canadian. What the heck does that mean?? ;)
Hahaha - yes, I've heard that one a few times too!!! It must be because you "look and dress" like one!!! hehehe....
Hmmm... I'd like to know as well! Personally, I wear my mukluks and parka everyday! And if I'm really dressing to impress, I haul out my belaclava!
Great news about your friend! You must be thrilled.
