Well, yesterday I drove by myself for the first time, yea!  Of course I had my trusty GPS with me so I guess I wasn't truly alone.  Seemed like a major milestone though, and it wasn't so bad.  I'm even getting used to the roundabouts, and they really do save time because you usually don't have to stop, like you would at a stop sign.

I drove to a welcome coffee for a group consisting of American women, mostly here for a few years for their husband's work like we are.  Seemed like a really nice group with lots of activities and helpful advice to offer.  One lady told me about a tiny little shop that makes corn tortillas, so if I decide to try making enchiladas again I'll know where to go.  No Ortega diced green chilies though, will have to improvise on that one.  The families get together to celebrate US holidays like Thanksgiving and 4th of July, so that will be nice.
