The Final Post

Well folks, today is my final post. I haven't posted because I've been moving into my new apartment. But here I am now. The plane ride back from Mexico was bad. I got into Houston and my flight to Colorado was canceled. More waiting. Then my new flight was delayed. Even more waiting. Johanna had to go to customs by herslef, but I bet she was already home and unpacked before I was! The flight back was very bumpy, but when we finally landed..I was so happy. Later that day I got my first cell phone...so cool! I got to see my mom, bro, and grandma! I was very happy. I think the favorite thing in Mexico was the fact of actually being there, and being able to visit my grandparents, and meet my cousin. And even , meet some incredible friends! Well, this does it for my final blog. I hoped you guys liked it. Please leave comments!!!


I would also like to thank everyone who helped make this trip possible. I love you guys!!!

The Final Day

Hola amigos! Today was my last day, very, VERY sad. We went to a village to check on sewing ladies. They made uniforms for another village, so we then went to that village to tell them. They were very grateful and even gave us fresca! It was scrumptious! We then had lunch at Carol's, had gazpacho, bread, fruit, and cookies. So good! We said our final goodbye, and then sadly left everyone. We came home and packed, so stressful I had to step on my suitcase to close it. Ugh! Then we went for a final swim. It was very refreshing. We dove and dove and dove! Then we said our goodbye to the pool and took the final shower. We had a delicious dinner after that, and a lovely strawberry dessert. The last dinner. Sounds familiar, huh?! Well, I will blog a TON tomorrow, so be sure to check back tomorrow, or I will hunt you down and find you. Then bad things will happen...

Final Sunday

The final Sunday. It's the final everything these last few days. Well, as we all know, my trip is coming to an end. I am leaving Tuesday and very sad about it. Before I describe my last regular day, I want to thank my Grandam and Grandpa for inviting Johanna and I here to Mexico and even paying for it. It was truly kind and I thank them will all my heart.

Well, today was very...oh I don't know...depressing. It sounds sad, but it's not. Church went very well. The sermon was interesting, and the sweets were delicious. The part I didn't like was saying goodbye to everyone. It was heartbreaking. Everyone was thanking us and saying goodbye and it almost out me to tears. We finally left after many saddening goodbyes. The car ride home was beautiful. I hadn't realized that at first and was enjoying it. We hopped right in the pool after that though. The water was so cold, we had to swim around a while to get warm. We finally hopped out and unsuccessfully tried to pull a comb through our hair. It got stuck...
After a good yanking and pulling, we made dresses with the fabric Grandma bought earlier. They are absolutely beautiful and I already know that I am going to be wearing a ton. We took pictures and are posting them on picasa if anyone would like to have a peek.

Well, that wraps it up for my final Sunday. Hope you all had a good day. See ya!

The Last Shopping Day

Today was very fun! We got up early this morning to this morning to make churros! I dipped them in sugar while Grandma and Grandpa cooked them. They were so good and we have so many leftovers! We left for town straight after breakfast. We went to an organic market where I bought my last gifts. It was so cool to look at all the foods. It smelled even better. Then we went to a master class...of music! We came in, sat down, and let the beautiful music get flow to our ears. The musicians were so good, and so young! We then went to the last market of our visit. I bought a bag, a scarf, and a lovely picture frame. I was so happy. We finally took the taxi home with all of our purchases. When we got home, I added up all of my purchases. I haven't used all of my money. I had about 75 pesos left. But Grandma said I should probably have some money in case I needed anything at the airport. So, I have 5 U.S. dollars. It's still a lot. Sort of. Well, that's it for today. Stay cool!


P.S. Hey Grandpa, guess what? I didn't use one single he-he or ha-ha. So ha!

A single visit

Today we made a visit to a town called La Campana. Our journey began at the horse coral early in the morn. Well, not to early. We each had a short lesson because my was a bit hipper from Cesar's attack. After a quick lesson we made our way into Carol and Harold's kitchen where we were heartily welcomed with bowls of soup to energize us on the journey to the village. It was lovely cabbage with chopped up potatoes. Delicious! We gathered up the necessary food supplies and up we went. We drove about 10 minutes then turned off into a dirt road. We traveled a little way up, stopped, got out, and armed ourselves with food to feed all the hungry people who lived at the small house. We walked through some bean plants and were once a again welcomed. The people lovingly took our food and were very grateful. They showed us around to let us look at the few projects in process. I got to see a little where they lived...and it was sad. They were not well off. There house was almost collapsed, and many animals were lingering around. Then they showed us there current kitchen. It was roughly around 5 ft. high (way to short) and was totally black. The fire was just a ring of rocks and there cups and plates looked like they had been found on the side of the road. It was horrid! And to believe this family was above average! After peeing at the kitchen, we headed out into a place a little more open where I so about 3 skinny-as-sticks dogs and cats that weighed only about 2 pounds. It looked like it had not been loved properly, which all animals need. I pet it gingerly for about 5 minutes and then it was time to go. We all said our goodbyes and headed out. We all looked back before making our way to the car. Finally as we went down the last road to get to the main road, I realized I was lucky to not be like that. I am a lot more grateful for everything now, and will try not to waste anything. It was a great experience. When I get back home, I am going to convince my mom to let us help fee the hungry.

The Last Thursday...

Today was our last Thursday...aw. We had fun though. We tried to paint nails but got frustrated. I totally stopped. Then we had stew for lunch and went swimming after that. We got out of the pool took showers, and then went to choir practice. After the last time of singing our little hearts out, we came home. Had a delicious dinner of short ribs and potatoes with asparagus. Going to watch a movie later. Sorry for the short blog, I blogged earlier today. See ya!
