Words From Alex in Mexico

22 year old son Alex is teaching English at a Waldorf school in Mexico for the school year. And this is what he has to say after his first 2 weeks:

hey mom.

I'm doing good and I'm really happy. I miss everyone but I have found a group of really cool people so I'm not lonely anymore. Here's a description of yesterday:
The group consists of these components: There is me, the Californian and the baby, but of course the giant as well, always. Then their is a barista named Fabian who wears suspenders and has a dog named Ocho. Eulysses (Choncho) an architect who always wears buttonups tucked in way too tight and studies Nietche. Linda, a Swedish lesbian hockey player who looks like Alex the girl. Paul, a computer programmer from Texas. Estephan, another Texan who draws cover art for punk bands and travels with a band called 'Explosions in the Sky'. Andy, a girl from North Carolina, who I think likes me, but Paul really likes her, so I'm biding my time. Then there is Kate a tattoo covered girl from Chicago who listens to Mac Dre and Hiero, we immediately hit it off. We spent all day drinking coffee and in the night we switched to beer at Bar Ocho. Yesterday we took a half hour bus ride to Dolores Hidalgo and hiked two hours up a mountain to one of the most spectacular views I have ever seen. The forests are still lush and cool, and with the group and with the view and the wind and the clean air and the red tailed hawks spiraling above I felt as if I were Jack Kerouac living the life of a dharma bum. It was one of the best days, maybe ever!
So my life is great, and now I am back to being "Meestare Wolves" for the week.
I love you and I'll write you more soon. And guess what, LOST is on tonight, YEAY!
love
AWV

You have such beautiful children, inside and out. :-)

what a great letter to get from your child letting you know that life is good, huh? Plus he's damn handsome - I can see why the "Andy from N.Carolina" likes him! (LOL!) She'll probably end up kicking "Paul" to the curb!
