Okay, I´m getting a bit nervous. Haven´t heard back from Rolando since our plan was to meet at Tapachula (the Guatemala-Mexico border) about 4 hours from his parents´ place in Quetzaltenango. I went and bought a plane ticket to Guatamala City under the assumption that it would be easier to shave 2 travel days off my schedule, and that Rolando would be there when I landed (given that he lives there). But I´ve gotten no response to my e-mails and my plane leaves in 18 hours. What do I do if I get to Guatemala City and nobody is there? I must admit it´s a little bit scary to think about it. Oh well, people travel to new countries by themselves all the time. And I _was_ looking for adventure... I guess worst comes to worst I can use it as a ´challenging experience´ when they ask me to describe one in my next job interview.

The title´s also quite literal. The night temperature here in D.F. has been hovering only marginally above 0 degrees, and we have no heating. Meaning it´s fricking cold in the house! Sleeping in 3-4 layers and waking up to the frigid bathroom tiles that don´t warm up until the shower does is definitely an experience I could do without.

Brr. And people say Canada is cold. Well, at least we have calefaccion...
