Update from Week 2!

All is well!  If it's possible though I think my spanish is getting worse.  But I think it's becasue #1 you can only talk the basics with your family for about a week and #2 I'm trying too hard to conjugate and make sure Im doing it perfectly instead of just talking. 

Over the weekend I went to a wedding and it was really neat.  My family stays really busy so i like it alot. Once we got to the house there were pine needles all over the floor which symbolized there was a fiesta!!!  And we were immediately fed.  I was like- dang we're the family that showed up just for dinner.  Ha- but no, actually after everyone was done the wedding started.  It was really bneat bc the bride and groom sit together and their families sit beside them.  The parents and grandparents say a few words of advice and bless the couple.  It was really neat.

Also over the weekend was the final championship for the basketball team my host mom and cousing and some other family members are on.  We placed second and it was a really good game.

And... I think I've had about 40 corn tortillas since I've been here in the last two weeks. I'm trying to keep count but I think I forget some.  And... visited the mercado again- we have one of the best becasue it is so large- and i totally dig it.  I'm getting better with the carniceria thing- ha!  It's just the smell but the one my family goes to is pretty legit.

And... you all waited for it... here it is.... the entry about poo.  It happens.  And it is happening alot. Ha!  But it's cool- Im not dying or anything. Just more practice putting the TP in the trash can and not the toilet.  It's seems unhygenic but it's totally not bad.  And... I wash my hands more than I ever have in my life... and I take daily HOT showers (definite emphasis on the hot).

Hope everyone is doing well!  Send me emails on what's going on in your lives!!! I don't wanna just talk about me!!!  Ok, well maybe on the blog :o)

And I def get access to the internet every Tuesday from 12 ish to 1.. so everyone be on skype or facebook.

:o)
