Mom is not going to like this post.... it's pretty amazing that this is considered the future of our music industry....... still pretty funny but sad at the same time!

Going back to last week, there were numerous celebrations bringing in the 200th year of independence leading up to Thursday. Infront of Puerto Paraiso (our local mall) the Los Cabos Student Orchestra, compiled of students around the area, performed traditional Mexican songs to a large crowd! They did a great job and it brought me back to elementary school, when I had horrendous bangs, crooked teeth, and played the violin! ahhhhhhh memories!Flailing Mermaid?!?
Sheer pain.... :/
Here in Cabo, rain is almost a myth... well that's until your smack dab in the middle of hurricane season! I reported Monday that we had an Invest 96, or a small storm system with capabilities of becoming a tropical storm. After looking at the water temperatures, it didn't look too likely so I didn't pay much attention to it... Oh how I was wrong.... Say hello to Tropical Storm Georgette and her evil wrath upon Cabo San Lucas! Though the rain was much needed... Did B really need to go all Bon Qui Qui and flood the streets?! Reference www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZkdcYlOn5m Maybe that doesn't make sence but who doesn't want to watch Bon Qui Qui. Back to Georgette.... The eye of the storm produced 3/4 to an inch and a half of rain every hour here in our area... well she pretty much hung out all evening long until mid afternoon so the picture speaks for how the area was impacted. Schools were closed, many of the dirt roads were undriveable, and some businesses were closed (not Capella!) Georgette did give Capella's grounds crew a run for their money. Surrounded with vegetation, beautiful sand patches, and of course the ocean, dirt was EVERYWHERE!!!!
Today, as the rain seeped into the ground around town, the air was full of dense dust and sand clouds from the movement generated by vehicles going about their day! Luckily here at the house we didn't have any damage and no leaks inside the house! Our outdoor living area wasn't so great. We found a weak spot in our palapa (thatched roof) which allowed water to dominate all paths it crossed! Fortunately after a day of drying out seat cushions, lots of woman power and a squeegee... all was back to normal with a lovely partially cloudy day and highs in the lower 80s!
Our first Tropical Storm.... Meet Georgette :/

Rest in Peace Brother

So we have been searching for this and I couldn't be happier to find it on a football saturday night!! WDE!!!!!!!!1
YAAAAAAAAAA she's legal!!!!!!!!
So after we got the car legalized, we decided it was about time (almost a year) that she needed to make some noise! We bought a nice new radio for the car! That's one thing I've never taken for granted (for obvious reasons...) and have really been pushing for since Ty bought the car! While we were waiting for the system to get installed, we noticed across the stree a little paleteria (ice cream shop) that had a great owner!!!! :D
We can finally listen to the only radio station in Cabo..... PLUS it has an adptor for your Ipod and a USB port for music!!!!!!!!!! ps.... the guy thought I was so strange and such a gringo for taking pictures! :D
I forgot to mention this earlier, the car has also been with out air conditioning. In Colorado, Switzerland, or any place that doesn't reach super high temperatures in the summer..... not a big deal.... in the desert here in Mexico.... can be a little painful! Seriously though it hasn't been that bad because there is a constant breeze here reguardless and an obvious breeze while driving. Ty and I went and bought some freeon at formula 1 and Ty assured he can put it in the car! I of course have no clue how to do it and he seemed pretty confident so I said, what the hell why not! Well.... about 30 mins later and a few "how to" sessions via YouTube later.... we had AC in the car!! Everything was great... nice and cool... then all of a sudden I catch a wiff of something that seems super similar to the smell of gas... I look over at Ty (who also smells it but is choosing to ignore it) and told him it may be a good idea if we turn off the AC for right now... hahaha. After the stereo was hooked up we did turn it back on and only smelt it a little bit but I believe it's time someone professional takes a look at it... Don't cha think so too :D
Before we could get home to relax we took the car to get a nice wash and vaccume, ran to walmart and came home! I tried to get a picture of our nice new shiny car, but typical parking job in Mexico didn't quite allow me to do so!
Ty made an amazing dinner with steak tacos, cheese quesadillas, guacamole, and much more! It was really nice to talk with Haley and Ryan via Skype! We also found very funny emoticons through our webcam.... here's the one's Haley and Ryan could do...
Holy Shit... Ryan's in space........

This is Ty's best Steve Thaxton "confused" face... a little more dramatic of course!
