Hotel Guanajuato

... see. I really want to work with the kids too. They are so adorable. My friend (the pastor's son) is the worship director. He is teaching the kids Christmas songs now for when they sing infront of the church. So, he has invited me to watch that everyday this last week. They are so stinkin' cute. I love it. I guess that is it for now.

... ones she was going to put in it was too ugly for me. She is so sweet. She is doing everything she can to help me. It is in a safe part of town, and is closer to downtown. Now it will take me about 10 min. to walk to church and school. =) I am SUPER excited. Can't wait to finally cook for myself again. =) I really miss it. Oh, and it is big enough that I can have the whole 20 people over from my SS class. =) So, that is all. DON'T WORRY. I am doing great, and I LOVE MEXICO.!!!!!!! =)

... why. I told him I am a Christian, then he said he was too (but he believed you could have sex at 18, not based on the Bible) and I told him the Bible says not to until you are married and that is what I follow. He was shocked. He didn't believe me at first. So, I preceeded to tell him my testimony. He was shocked again, he couldn't believe I ever did those things, because I am so different now. It was awesome! God gave me all the words to say. I love God. This guy ...

So - I've been in Mexico for about a week and a half now. I remember that when I got to Thailand it took about two weeks before I began to get over the whole to-do of the the long plane ride and the gereral disorientation - not knowing one single familiar landmark. Spending the first two days with Daniel was a wonderful way to get started, but eventually I had to head off on my own and start trying to figure things out for myself.

The first thing I did when he ...

- Taxi's have no id's on the inside.

- If you are dating someone instead of saying "I love you" you say "I want you", which really means I like you. (not sexual) But if you use the words "I like you" literally (me gusta) it comes out as saying you like them and want them sexually. Also, to your parents you use the term " I want you" instead of saying I love you. But , it means I like you. You only ...

... our own, on public buses for 42 days.  During that time we did not set foot in the safe confines of a single beach resort.   Our travels took us from Mexico City as far north as Zacatecas then west to Puerto Vallarta and down the Pacific Coast to Huatulco, inland to Oaxaca and south to San Cristóbal de las Casas. From there we traveled north to the Yucatan Peninsula where we visited Campeche, Merida, and Playa del Carmen. We then flew home from ...

... not be a fun moment. I am writing this on a computer in a cafè and therefore do not have english spellcheck and just about all of you know that spelling is not one of my strong points... so, again- sorry if I am a moron via my spelling abilities in this entry. I have finals in two of my spanish classes, and now only have two classes. My conversation class ends this friday and my design class ends the following friday. It will be nice to be finnished with classes. on ...

... fist saw me he said... wow.. it looks like you are having an allergic reaction to meat. when did the marks start? on account that i first had some marks on monday-he said it was something that I ate on sunday... ok... so... sunday... sunday.... what did I eat on su..... oh! on sunday Oscar and his friend went and bought some meat (already cooked) to bring back to another friends house for tacos... I was playing with his nephews.. so I really didn't pay any attention. I knew that ...

... but felt our stomachs growling for some food. We found the cheapest tacos ever. The total ended up at $4.50 US for 6 tacos and 2 sodas. Pretty cheap and very good. Afterwards, we chilled in town and enjoyed some of the concert. We needed to get some rest because we had to get up early to see the rest of the town and catch a bus to Leon at 2:30 pm. Turns out you can't go to Zacatecas from here, you need to go to Leon to catch it.

... closed until the gray-hairs start rolling down in a month or so. Thus, after just one night, I took my third bus trip in three days, this time back to Puerto Vallarta. While not overly spectacular, at least there is no shortage of options here. Now for a quick "In the defense of men..." story: While relaxing on the roof of my hotel I met an Irish girl who had just finished three weeks of volunteering at a sea turtle sanctuary near Puerto Vallarta (no, that's Senor Frog's you ...
