my little amigos in mexico!

bad ass rodeo man.. true mexican cowboy

day numero sinco!

was sweet! i got sunburn today for the first time.. me and dave went a rode some horses in the morning and on our way up there we saw the guy we were meeting at a breakfast place but its not really a breakfast place.it was more of a place where they had pork and tortillas for breakfast ha. it was good but dave made me eat a pickled cactus.. let me tell you, dont eat one. it was like a salty spicy tongue that i was chewing on. kind of different i know! after eating we me dave and rode horses and i took a rope off of a huge bull. like an actual bull from the rodeos it was crazy. dave was roping the bull on his horse and he looked like he was a pro rodeo cowboy! after that me and the fam went down to some family friends house where there was a pool and stuff. it was way nice. and tomorrow.... is school...

shenanigans (3&4)

on Friday me and dave went out from the office to a cafe and had michelata's. then after that we went to parillada uraguayense, another restaurant. more happened on Thursday. Me, dave and ben went to the park because i didnt have school. ben rode his bike around a track a few times and me and dave played with a football. after that we went to the mall and saw a movie, which cut out half way through.. but it was sweet. before the movie the whole fam and i went a church thats called sanctuario atotonilco and it has a statue in it thats called senior de la colunda or in english, christ of the colemn. which is really really famous in the area. people from all over mexico would go to this statue because it has "healing powers". the church itself was amazing though. on the inside there was not one spot that wasnt painted inside. the whole ceiling and walls were all painted with murals it was really cool ill see if i can find a picture. that was our day!
bye!
me

day dos..

was good! but i got lost after school going to daves office.. oops. it was good for me to see the town anyways! at school we went to a really nice restaurant and that was pretty cool.. other then that the day was normal. except the lesbian couple that me and dave me today. and the wolf dog that wanted to eat dave, plus the pitbull that wanted to eat me, and dont forget the really big scary poodle that wanted to bite me! hopefully no dogs tomorrow!

Gusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssstavo!

first day

woo first day to mexico and im already tired! how sweet is that. went on a jog with dave in the morning (he couldnt keep up with me) and then on top of our short jog we ran stairs... i dont like these stairs and im already getting to know them well. there are 164 of them.. after running and giggling at dave, we rushed home and then i had to get ready for school! which was kind of boring.. so far its iok ahnd all the students are from america like me so they also speak english which is cool. we went to a museum that was made from some old dude that tours mexico looking for masks. really weird i know but it was sweet he had like 3000 masks i think. im tired and the days not half done excited for tomarow? OF COURSE haha
