Starting our life in Mexico

We are renting a 3 bedroom, fully furnished, 2-story apartment. We are in a little Privada which is a narrow street that only allows pedestrians. Although we are in the middle of the city, traffic noise is bearable. We hear sounds from our neighbors, birds and church bells ringing throughout the day. We have no yard but we have an enclosed, uncovered patio on the second floor.

We are about a 15 minute walk from the old and new centers of the city. The traffic-free, central plazas in the city are home to beautiful, colonial buildings, inspiring sculptures, and stone-paved walkways. Step out of the plazas, and you will feel the liveliness of the city: busy traffic, hoards of people, and lots of different shops.

I am in awe of this bulls sculpture that is near the Feria (fairgrounds and modern bull ring) here in Aguascalientes, Mexico. There are six bull in total with one horse and cowboy herding them. They are set upon a large island of rock.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
