Today is my senoras, (host mom's) birthday so we bought her flowers from a street vendor, only 40 pesos! That's less than 10 dollars for a bouquet that would cost 40 dollars in the states : ))
I took public transportation for the first time today too! haha. This Wyoming girl has no idea about any of that so Emma went with me to "practice" today, she's very patient! There is a train station 3 minutes from my house so we took that and then SWITCHED to the subte (subway) and took that the rest of the way to the center of the city! I think that I prefer the train because the subte is sooo incredibly packed with people, the amount of people that live here is hard to wrap my mind around. 13 million is incomprehensible.
We explored downtown for a while and sat at another cafe, I'm already in love with the coffee here : )) I am planning on keeping a sugar packet from every place I have a coffee : )
Grace is cooking fajitas for dinner and her two sons are going to be here for dinner, Tommy is older and he is a director and actor in commercials and Gonzalo graduated from the UB recently and is working on developing a clothing website. I am excited to meet the older son but I always freeze up and don't talk around people who are fluent. Can you imagine me not talking?!?! I know, it's weird for me too : )) haha.
After dinner we are going to a reggae/live music club with some other girls in the program, I am going to have to bust out my famous dance moves : ))
Tomorrow I will leave about 7 to get to the place for our visa and after that it's just another day in the life of a city girl, ayyy! Thanks everyone for following me on the blog, you can email me at kremke11@gmail.com if you need anything : )) I thank God daily for all the amazing family and friends that He has put in my life to support me through this adventure, I am so blessed!
Con amor! Bailey
