Just another update- no swine flu in these parts that I know of yet. The government went one step further and closed all nonessential businesses and places people can congregate (including restaurants, bars, clubs, gyms etc). They say it will for sure go until Tuesday the 6th which is supposed to be the end of our long holiday vacation but they say everything may remain closed depending on the spread of the swine flu (we may have another extended vacation!). The Mexican government is not as quick at disclosing where the swine flu has spread as the USA is so I'm not even entirely sure it is still contained to Mexico City. Masks are impossible to find here- no pharmacies have them. Mom sent an email yesterday saying she was going to send some antiviral drugs and masks down to me, hopefully they will get here in a timely manner. Who knows, maybe this will be somewhat under control in a few weeks and I won't need any of it! We are trying to keep ourselves entertained and occupied but it is difficult without going anywhere. We are thinking of heading out to the natural waterfalls about a half hour away and maybe going to the world's youngest volcano, which is about 2 hours away sometime this weekend. We figure both are open areas where we won't get exposed to anything.
Anyways- still healthy for now, I will keep everyone updated on the progress but for now just trying to keep from going stir crazy in a shut down city!
