Happy 8-month Anniversary!

At Hertz helping a friend to rent a car
8-months.  That is how long Ulises and I have been dating.  It's hard for me to imagine that it has been so long, and yet it feels like much longer.  So much has happened, and yet time has flown by.  We had a very special anniversary.  A friend needed help renting a car here in Mexico, so we took her down to the airport.  Choosing to rent at this Hertz was a HUGE mistake.  I guess maybe the real mistake was taking so long deciding what to do that the first guy left and another took his place.  This second guy was very slow. Every time we would ask a question, he would turn around and look through his papers . . . slowly . . . VERY slowly.  It was excruciating.
Finally we got the car and were able to leave.  As a thank you for helping her out, my friend took us out to dinner for our anniversary.  We went to Maria Chuchena's.  I didn't particularly care for the food, again, but in my experience so far, I prefer the food on the street or from small locations to these expensive restaurants.  Despite the experience at Hertz in the Ciudad Juarez airport, it was a good anniversary!
Dinner out
Eating fresa-style.  That term, fresa,
is used to refer to people who have
a lot of money, and I think it implies
being a little stuck-up.
8-months have come and gone!
