Real De Minas Hotel Guanajuato

... 1.5 hours each. I love them. The first one is basic things (greetings, numbers, etc.) It was like a review for me. I understood about 98% of what she said. The second one is pronunciation. I was doing great until the "r". I could roll my r's great (the teacher was shocked) but, I was having a problem with my reg. r's and "g" (this weird hacking sound you make in your throat). I thought i ...

... streets. No matter the time of day. They seem to go to bed around 2-4 am. and wake up around 10. It is weird to walk around at night and see so many people. I mean, you are pushing your way through the crowd.

- There are dumpsters around to put trash in ( they don't come door to door). But, in the center of town a man will walk about a block in front of the trash truck ringing a bell. This is to let everyone inside know that the ...

... t know how far it was. We walked for 2.5 hours. My feet were killing me. The ground is made of so many different things and is very uneven. Shoes are best.

Guanajuato is situated in the Veeder mountains at over 2,000 meters (6,562 ft) above sea level and the buildings climb up the side of the mountains surrounding the city center. Guanajuato is one of ...

Well, God has answered my prayers. I am in Mexico. The airport experience was interesting. My first flight left 30 min. early (I was on it). My second flight, we boarded, and then they made the announcement that they didn't know where the pilots were. lol. As I waited for my third flight, the airline agent calls me up, kinda, he said Heid-L Cockendolpher. he butchered it. Then he wanted to see my passport ...

... Wednesday, little more painting and then my last English class...I told them we're going to have a party...I'm thinking popcorn, pop, water balloons, and a little review, of course. Then Wednesday night I'll have the women's small group. Thursday will be fun. Two women from the church, Norma and Dafne, wanted to do something with me before I left so we're going to head to Leon for the day to go to the Imax theatre and shopping or ...

... so headed off on the hunt - finally found Casa Bertha, up a steep hill via a maze of narrow alleys (like much of the city!) and an apartment for $10 a night - hurrah, a break from Mexican food! Knowing I was going to be cooking from here on in, treated myself to a decent Italian pizza, something I can't make for myself. Move in & try to get to a decent supermarket - missed the first as bus driver forgot to let me know as requested so ended up with a scenic tour of the city - got ...

... Due to the rugged terrain, the route into the downtown along 5 de Mayo led through a steep rock cut and a short tunnel. This would bring us to Av. Juarez, the main street. Av. de Juarez, a commercial street, is quite wide at this point full of the usual activities that one finds in Mexican streets. This short stretch of Av. de Juarez is probably the only wide street in this city as flat real estate is at a premium due to the terrain. So how does ...

... It was a fun day...an expensive day- which after spending about 100 dollars at the dr. and with stupid pills was ******- I just have to make the trip again on Friday-alone- also on Friday night mr. magoo was throwing himself his 21st birthday party at the house, on the terrace. He told Imelda that about 15 people were going to show up, when in reality the only people who came were the 4 Japanese students in our classes. I felt bad for him, and I was very tired from the day ...

... during my entire time here. (haha.. my grandmother is reading this.. hi mama!) but hey, I was up before my alarm, prolly with some alcohol still in my system, and we got A's on both presentations. So... it was a win/win situation. Haha... my siesta was a little longer than normal. TODAY IS KORTNI'S (my best and one of my oldest friend's) 21sst birthday... so subconsciously I was celebrating with her at midnight- Happy Birthday Kort!, Im sorry I couldn't be there with you. I ...

Orientation is finally finished... and I hope that never again in my life, I am put in a room full of foreigners who have no idea what's going on. I have registered for all my classes-, which begin this Monday. I am taking what would be equivalent to media/graphic design classes. (Photography, silk screening 3-D design and also a Spanish class.) Most of my classes are located right outside of the city- so I will have to take a bus. The ...
