This is a crazy experience. It's different than I expected it would be, but I guess it's good to have stereotypes disproved, reinforced, and changed. My family continues to be wonderful. I actually have a hard time being productive, because I am always chatting with my mom. She is very talkative, but it has been great practice for my Spanish.

Last night I went to aerobics class, which was crazy. It was super fun, but I didn't get a lot of what was happening. I looked a little silly bouncing around, much bigger than all the other fit little women, but it was ok. Walking about a mile to class everyday is also very good exercise. Ilana and I can take the combi if we want, and we do at night when it's too dark to walk, but the walking is good. The only crappy thing about the walk is all the guys that whistle and say stuff at us while we're walking. It is just not fun to be harrassed all the time. And we have to walk by a military base, which is usually swarming with young men. Ay. Good thing we do it with each other, because if we were alone, it would be much harder to ignore them.

The food has been delicious, and I haven't gotten sick yet (knock on wood!). I have had lots of fresh juice (jugo de naranja), frijoles, arroz, many tortillas, and delicious avacadoes. Mmmm. It's hard to adjust to the eating schedule tho, because we eat a huge meal at 3 when we all (me, my sister, and my brother) get home from school, and then eat smaller meals at breakfast and dinner, which is around 9/10/whenever I want to eat something.

Classes were great yesterday and today. Today we talked about projects (I'm going to be working at the local university with kids my age, I think teaching English. It should be sweeet.) Yesterday we had grammar with Goyo (our prof), and learned lots of new vocabulary. It seems like the advanced grammar won't be that fun, but I guess it's good to learn new stuff. And we did history with Goyo, and learned all about Porfirio Diaz and Benito Juarez. Got to go do homework!
