Hello everyone!
I´m sorry that i haven´t written sooner, but i changed my host family and they brought me to Acapulco!! let´s see.. december and january have been incredibly busy for me. i got out of school the 5th of december, and from then on it was hanging out with friends, getting to know how to cook, helping out around the house.. and then i went to oaxaca to stay at my grandmother´s for almost three weeks to celebrate the holiday seasons. it´s more of a city so i went to the movies, went to a a carnival.. and then my uncles and aunts brought me to all the touristy places, like the ancient ruins of monte alban and mitla, the 2000 year old tree; el tule, santo domingo, the oaxaqueñan regional museum, i went to see how they traditionally make pottery and to the old markets and everything. i celebrated christmas and new years by breaking piñatas and eating grapes (mexican tradition). they also have another holiday called Dia de los Reyes where the three wise men supposedly come to bring gifts.. it´s like santa claus, but makes more sense biblicly and it´s on the 6th of january. and they accompany it with more piñatas and the breaking of a bread in the shape of a wreath with little plastic figures inside of it. so i celebrated my birthday the 9th of january, but didn´t do anything accept go out to a restaurant with the rotary club adn eat cake. then i changed houses the 11th, and i´m currently living with doribel and juan ramon guitirrez. it´s an amazing house, a more than realistic family.. i love it. they give me chores, we communicate very well, i help a lot and i feel like i´m part of the family. i started school today b-c i got back from acapulco yesterday. everything´s going well, i don´t think i missed anything. i hope all´s going well in new york!!
