Hi all!Today I am going to tell about our change to Torreon. We moved here because my father changed his work place to Torreon.
Torreon is a big city. It has frontier with the cities of Gomez Palacio and Lerdo in the state of Durango. But Torreon is in the state of Coahuila. Torreon is often called la Laguna or the Comarca (lagunera). Torreon is very hot and not like Saltillo.
It was sad to me to leave my friends and everyone I knew in Saltillo. Mrs. Doris, one of our friends told that her brother, Sr. Alfonso is in Torreon. They both offered help to appa for his stay until he found a house for all of us. Appa stayed with his family for two weeks. In Saltillo, we went to tell to everyone we knew. In Idiomas we went with Ms. Maru my teacher in the Claai in the English course, with the Director of Idiomas and with Ms. Betty who was another of my teachers. All of them were very good teachers for me. We went and informed Ms. Gaby, our aerobics teacher too. We also went to the house of Khaila, one of my classmates for the Despedida (send off party). Her mother, mother of Alexis and of Ana Karen organized this party. In the school my friends Mildreth, Ana Karen, Karen Jazmin and Lesly gave me some gifts. Sr. Jose Alejandro Torres Tovar, Director of my school in Saltillo and Ms. Violeta, my teacher told that they will miss me. They were good teachers too. I liked them all very much. I am still in contact with all of them.
We couldn’t pack anything during the last days in Saltillo, as it was very cold and it snowed (it was the first time I saw snow in Saltillo). On 27th of January night, we put everything in a mini lorry. The loading took nearly four hours, as we were also packing at the same time. Mrs. Clara, our house owner in Saltillo and her sons Jose Luis, Ruben, David and her daughter Laura helped us a lot in packing things. Previous night Mary, one of our friends also helped a lot with our packing. As we finished very late, Mrs. Clara invited us to stay in their house for the night. We all ate Pizza at their house.
Early morning (4.30 am) on 28th January, Jose Luis and Ruben took us to Torreon in their car. We reached our new house in Torreon at about 8 o’clock. Sr. Alfonso and his family helped appa in finding this house. The truck with our things was there already. We unloaded the things and then went into the city for breakfast. We ate at Vip’s (a restaurant). Nearly one o’clock Jose Luis and Ruben left Torreon. Sr. Alfonso came by afternoon and helped us with gas connection. He and his family, Mrs. Paty, their son Israel and daughter, Eunice helped us in this new city.
I am going to my new school. Its name is Instituto Britanico de Torreon. It is a bilingual school. Everyone is very friendly here. It’s nice. I also like this school. Later I will write about Torreon.
