My New Family

This weekend has been awesome so far! I have been hanging out a lot with my friend Johnny. Me and my group met him and his group at the Zacatecas beer factory on class trips... even though both groups are from Guanajuato. He is really well informed, plays soccer for the University, and his English is impeccable because he studied abroad in the U.S. for a year.

Well today, his mom (who is a middle school teacher) had to go to Leon to chaperone a school party, in which they crown the "queen" of the school. (Imagine a HUGE auditorium filled with hundreds of sweaty 14 year olds dressed up like 23 year olds, dancing to techno). Anyways, I tagged along so that I could get a ride to Leon. But the whole point of this story being that I met Johnny's brothers, and his mom ... who is SO AMAZING!!! Needless to say, I already love her, and I think the whole family loves me, and we drove back from Leon singing "the itsy bitsy spider" in Spanish and English. I really felt like I was part of the family.

Oh, and while I was in Leon, I ate some great sushi and had a white mocha Starbucks. YUM!
