I didn't enjoy walking home from school today... It was almost 90 degrees (F), a good part of the 30 minute walk was up a large hill, and I was wearing long jeans because shorts are not acceptable to wear around here. However, apart from the terribly hot weather, I am getting sad about going back home. I have less than a month left. This weekend I had a dream in which I had returned to Michigan and I was crying because I couldn't go back to Mexico. When I woke up, I was actually surprised to be in my bed in Guanajuato.
Speaking of happier things though, I went to Dolores Hidalgo this weekend and had a great time. Dolores Hidalgo is a little city that is historically famous for it's part in the Independance of Mexico, and culturally famous for all the weird different flavors of nieve and helado (ice creams) that they sell there. So, late afternoon on Saturday Me and MNF (my new family) and Katie jumped into their little car and zoomed through the mountains to Dolores. We weren't even sure that there would still be vendors out by the time we got there, but luckily this weekend happened to be the Ice cream Fair weekend. The plaza was absolutely full of different stands of vendors, and everyone giving out free samples. I ended up trying samples of all types of ice cream, from the delicious to the bizzare, including: Mole, Shrimp and Octopus, Chamoy, Corn, Tequila, Beer, Rum, Cucumber, Pistacio, Mango, 6 Delights (apple, cherry, grape, pineapple....plus two more "delights" that I forget), Angels Kiss (cherry with nuts), "Temptation" (I have no idea what was in that one, but it tasted GOOD), Butter with Dried Fruit, Zapote Negra (a black type of fruit)... and more. I settled on buying four flavors: peach flower (which was my favorite), cajeta (goats milk carmel), coconut and rose petal.
Later, me and my full tummy went back to the house of MNF and we watched August Rush and they spoiled me shamelessly and stuffed even more food down my throat.
