... me at the bus stop in Guanajuato was to leave my favorite, hand woven vest (from Rosemary in Australia) in his car - one of the two warmish garments that I had brought. But at the time, that was the least of my worries because I was so overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the busy bus station where everyone was yammering away in Spanish (!) and the need to get a bus to SMA. I'd told my future hosts that I'd be showing up at their place between 4 and 5 - and it ...

... t matter any more. We attended one techno party with some great DJs in a park one sunny afternoon (a strange but wonderful experience that later spilled into a nearby club...a total of 12 hours in a row of dancing to some great music with a hip, friendly, and exhausted crew of people from all over Mexico). Another night (morning), we summited Pipila, a huge stone statue towering from atop Guanajuato ...

I touched down in Leon exactly on time (11:07 pm). The first person I encountered as I stepped off the plane onto the tarmac was a uniformed man in a balaclava, bristling with guns. We didn't exchange pleasantries.<br>My Mexican amigo (via Sally), Daniel, was waiting for me inside the terminal. How wonderful to have a local to pick me up at such a late hour! He took me to his family's little country house in an enormous estate not far from ...

Well, I have only been in school one week. Seems like forever. <br><br> The first day was very interesting. Lupita and JJoe walked me to school. (I had only been there once previously) It was like I was a kid, but I def. appreciated it. They are awesome. In class I am the only one starting new. There is one other girl who is from Japan. She is fun. We laughed so much. I have 2 classes that ...

... everyone, as to not seem like a snotty American. I try to be as friendly as possible. (I do this more with the women of course)<br><br>The City:<br>-Guanajuato is very much a college town. Here in Mexico, kids in College travel to school by bus, and stay there Mon. - Thurs.

... was a young girl sittintg on the shopping carts which is on the photos we have included in our album. After our return we took separate walks to explore the neighborhoods. Sheila and I grabbed some siesta time and all of us went to a restaurant recommended to Sheila by Patricia (accupunturist) and called or all things "The Restaurant" up near the Jardin. We made a reservation and decided to try out our terrace party area for cocktails. We moved the portable refrigerator to the area and ...

... swiftly as a beached tortoise smelling the salt of the nearby ocean. For av**age people getting from point A to point B is relatively easy, quite natural. But for William he has adjusted to moving slow** and not hurrying no matt** what the circumstances. The fast** he tries to go the slow** he moves. His physical body is a moment to moment remind** that he is diff**ent and must be more conscious of movement and temporal relationships. Getting from Dulles to Reagan in rush ...

... the "welcoming of the dawn" - marked by 1 full hour of non-stop fireworks! it was just beyond ridiculous. the noise, the smoke, "las bombas" - those "small" firecracker-type dealios - many of which made their way into the crowd! we had one land at our feet, still madly spewing sparks... Dorian, a newly-made local friend of ours, proudly displayed the burned hole in his jacket from this evening!!! after about 35 mins of ...

... goods, vegetables and fruit as well as lots of prepared food ready to eat. Even puppies if you want one. We also have a large daily market not far from our house. It has a lot of craft items. Beautiful handwoven rugs, pottery, lots of metal or tin work, cowboy hats and food as well. Things change depending what is going on, at Christmas there were lots of decorations and Three Kings Day there were toys. There are numerous other craft fairs that go on through out town as well ...
