Yesterday after my museum visits, Briana and I went with other students from the school to Truco 7 for dinner. I had agua fresca de sandia (watermelon water) and nachos. It was delicious. And then the long walk home ( Read more... )

Don´t ever send all of your clothes to a Mexican lavanderia. The construction workers next door are bound to break a water pipe and delay the washing of your clothes. It's inevitable.

I just went to the Museo del Pueblo de Guanajuato. The majority of it was miniatures; interesting for the first two minutes just because of the tediousness of ( Read more... )

I spent two and a half hours uploading pictures and updating LiveJournal last night. Whew ( Read more... )

I know, I know, I've been away for a while. Since my school is closed on the weekends, I can't update unless I go to an Internet cafe. And I've been sick for the past couple of days, so updating hasn't been a priority. But I'm back now! So prepare yourself...this is going to be a whopper of a post ( Read more... )

On Monday when I was walking home from school I rounded the corner in one of the many stairways that I have to climb and happened upon a very intoxicated man relieving himself on the wall of the stairway. I felt like I was in the French Quarter, except this was at 3:00 in the afternoon. He wasn't very affected by being busted in the act; in fact ( Read more... )

We met up with other students at BarFly and then we all ( Read more... )

Yesterday afternoon students got together at the school to watch 'Como agua por chocolate.' I've read the book, but it's been a while; the movie was a little strange and even laughable at times. Afterward, there was a salsa class on the terrazza of the school. It was a disaster, at least for me. Because most of the students who attended (and most ( Read more... )

Tuesday night I went to the culture class held at the school. It was on festivals in Mexico, like the one for the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Day of the Dead. The class basically consisted of a PowerPoint presentation and a talk given by one of the teachers followed by a question and answer session. Then a large group of students went to a ( Read more... )

Some pictures of the house where I'm staying.  I'm not sure why they're all different sizes.  Anyway, if you'd like to see more pictures, you can view my album at PhotoBucket.com:  http://photobucket.com/albums/y189/kbracy1/Guanajuato/ .  All the pictures that are posted so far are of the house and the view or surrounding area or are of the parade ( Read more... )
