La de da de da de da. Here's more Mexico stuff.
This is a theatre that is very close to the downtown square in Guadalajara. Very old and very pretty
This is the cathedral we went in. It was so gorgeous.
Me and Gustavo, who is only like the cutest Mexican child EVER.
Inside the cathedral
Anyways... Mexico was an extremely interesting experience. There were just so many things that you had to do without that took a lot of adjusting to get used to. Didn't really have a hot shower, couldn't flush the toilet paper down the toilet, you had to throw it away in the trash can. Couldn't blow dry your hair, couldn't drink the water, couldn't wash your hands without having to use antibacterial hand sanitizer afterwards. It was just so different.
I worked in an orphanage that had about 40 boys living in it. They were never there the whole time, because some of the boys went to school in the morning and some attended in the afternoon. They were all so, so sweet and cute and loving, well behaved (for the most part) and they tried to speak in Spanish to me. It was so frustrating, after telling them "no habla espanol" to hear them reel off another lengthy sentence at me in Spanish. So I just smiled. lol
Pretty sure Chase cried the last night we were there. (I know I know- everyone cries the last night of church camp. Well, not the people at my church. This was atypical.) He sat down and after a while he grabbed my leg and I sat down to hear what he needed me to hear. He was sobbing and apologized for ever taking advantage of me and taking me for granted, getting mad at me just for fun and always assuming that no matter what, I would forgive him and be his friend, same as ever. Which, yea, that probably is kind of stupid of me, but its the way I work and I will never change that, especially with him. He's self-centered and takes advantage of my personality, which is to forget immediately anything hurtful that someone did as soon as we are on good terms again. I don't know how I feel about that. But he apologized. It was interesting.
Well ok. Thats enough for now. Later.
