Back to Puebla

Here we go again...

... another trip to Puebla, Mexico. It is through the study abroad program at UNLV again. I'll be taking 6 credits in 4 weeks, and I'll stay an extra week or so just for fun. I really am not such a big fan of writing in my blog, but some funny stuff goes down when you are in another country, so I'll give it another shot. My last trip to Mexico was an amazing experience... it led to a few changes in my life; probably the most dramatic was the decision I made to change my major of four years (Culinary Arts Management) to Spanish. I love learning a new language, seeing a new culture, trying the food, and realizing the things that make us different (and the same).

Things I am looking forward to:

- Seeing my host family (Saray and Rosa Maria)

- Mis AMIGOS

- The crazy institute dances

- My ward (church)

- Hearing Espanol every day.

- Taking classes at La Iberoamericana

- Regaton playing in the streets

- Chalupas, esquites, tacos, chiles en ogada, mole poblano...

Things I could probably do without:

- The massive amount of PDA on every corner

- Taking the bus everywhere... which wouldn't be so bad if I were better at directions and the bus drivers didn't drive like maniacs... and if there was an actual bus route to follow.

-Stomach flu... oh yes the first couple of weeks are going to be memorable.

- Ummm, really, that's about it... I guess the whole avoid-traveling-by-myself-at-night-so-I- don't-end-up-like-those-girls-on-Taken thing is kind of annoying as well but I'll try not to do anything really, really stupid and that takes those chances way down.

So, yeah... vaminos!
