month summary


So many stories, so little energy….So x weeks ago we had a nice four day vacation to Oaxaca:) It is so Beautiful. The first day we went around the city. We saw more ruins, similar to others but still way pimpin, and the biggest tree in the world. Later we went to the center to shop and eat. While in the center, we chilled and sat in front of a church. There are people selling things everywhere in Mexico but these people were the most insistent ones that i have seen. They would not leave us alone. Its funny too because they all sell the same things. Anyways, I ended up buying these pretty sweet book marks from this little girl. But then she kept bugging me and all the other teachers to buy more. She even asked for a whole package of cookies. Believe me she was not starving. One of the teachers even offered to buy her and her brother lunch, but she was like no I just want cookies. She was a brat lol but it made the afternoon interesting…… After a night of shopping we got in out compact combi/bus thing and went to the beach. It was a ten hour bus ride through the mountains. Our driver went through the night as we tried to sleep, but everyone got motion sickness and we had to stop for someone to throw up like every 30 minutes. The bus was also very hot. It was a crazy night, but fyi I never got sick. Then when we got to the beach, I just crashed in the hot sand for a nap. Later we got boogy boards and road the waves. It was so freakin sweet! But at the end of the day I was redder than a lobster. The worst burn of my life and it was February!  We stayed in hostels and I was impressed. Another cool thing that we did was go snorkeling. There where mini jelly fish everywhere and I was terrified but no one got stung:) There was also a sweet cave that we went through. The ride home in the mountains was also a sight to see. I pretty much loved it all lol.
            In other news, I went to a wedding, b day party and a 15neria all in one night a couple weeks ago. That was a party! There was this crazy drunk lady that kept dancing with me. It was funny and super okward lol. I also danced with some normal guys lol. That was fun! I love love love Mexican dancing! Especially banda and cumbia! Teaching is going pretty good. Our classes vary from 1-12 students lol so everyday is an adventure. This weekend I am going to Mexico city so that should be a great adventure.:)
