The hunt begins

After all the waiting, after all of the worrying, at long last I picked up my cédula extrajería (National ID card) yesterday after receiving my visa two weeks ago. So,I can start looking for work! I finished translating my CV into Spanish about two minutes ago so will be heading into town on Shanksie's pony (on foot) tomorrow to spread the word......."Yes, I am available for interview" and "Don't call me gringo!".

What a strain having to go so long without working, especially since there is no form of benefit system here. If you ain't working then go and starve! Hopefully things will move quickly from here and we can start to lead a normal life. Better get started looking through the classifieds in the paper then. More to follow.
