Paseo de la Presa Hotel Guanajuato

I am now apart of a church body. I have been there about 3 weeks. I love it. I am really great friends with the Pastor's son, and he has helped me abundanatly. He has introduced me to the other church people and shows me around town. He is awesome. He can speak English fluently, so when I need help he is my translator. He is so funny ...

... 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 ...

... what luck! Thus ensued almost three fascinating hours with my own personal guide. I was especially interested in her discourse about the early people and their (somewhat grizzly) customs and beliefs. Amongst many other things,I learned about their underlying world views regarding life and death, and how this translated into their rituals of sacrifice. I also found out more than I ever wanted to know about the exact nature of the ...

... but then again every silver cloud has a dark lining.  Wait a minute; do I have that idiom right?     Oh, yes - one more thing. Recently there was a discussion in a Travelpod Forum directed at the question - "Where Would You Like to Live?" My answer at the time was pretty clear - why Switzerland, of course!   Well that was then and this is now. Switzerland in the winter has cold, damp and often cloudy weather. It also has a preponderance of dour ...

... ill still throw the idea out there. Anywho... on Sunday- in a room of about 25 people... haha probably better described as a small room with 25 people.... His dad grabbed a chair, plopped it down next to him and called me over to chat with him. As soon as I sat down in the chair he threw out the following questions... -mind you I cannot punctuate properly.... "Why are you with my son... I know that this is just one big joke to you. Lets face it, youre a gringa, and you will never ...

... hub. I had heard much about San Miguel but this town was more highly praised by travelers, and I can see why. Today though I had to ride into Leon, a nearby major city - prosperous but not scenic or historic - t get 2 new tires, a chain and an oil change. I got 2 out of 3, have to go bach Monday for the chain. But all went well, and wečre having a nice time here.

howdyho It is really quite difficult to put a whole weeks worth of occurrences into an entry. So rather than go day by day, Im just going to go with a free flow of conscience for this one (scary... I know). The weather woman definitely needs to wear more clothing. It is really quite comical because the poor women is not only half naked, but using the smallest map Ive ever seen to provide a forecast. Im starting to think that the weather segment ...

I have not been to Mexico a few times in the past 2 years, and the city of Guanajuato is by far my favourite. It's very hard to explain the place. It's a UNESCO Heritage site and you feel that you are back in the 1500's when the town was first incorporated.

Google the place to get an online idea of the place, but make a point of going there to really experience it.

I will go back there again, but next time for a lengthy stay and even ...
