Swine update

I thought I would give an update on our perspective on how things are going here with the Swine Flu outbreak.  The kids are suppose to go back to school on May 11th, and hopefully this stands true come the 11th. Everyone here seems ready and anxious to return the normal swing of things. 

Mask wearing is a minimum now, we mostly see food handler's wearing them.  I did see people passing flyer's out a few days ago with information about what to look for and symptoms of the flu, as well as posters that have been put up all around the city. Most people here (nationals and foreigners) are avoiding hand shaking and "cheek kissing" which is really uncommon here.  

Our family is no longer keeping to indoors and actually are letting the kids play outside with friends...(except now they are sick and will be in for few days) bummer.  We attended a birthday party in our neighborhood for one of Leah and JJs new friend. It was nice to get out and socialize again + we got more Spanish practice.
