Now that I have been here for over 4 weeks I think it is okay to release these differences...Some good..Some bad ha
My Top 10 Differences
In Mexico:
1. Toilet Paper gets thrown in the trash can..ALL OF THE TIME
2. DONT DRINK THE WATER..ever.
3. Mexican food here, is NOT like the Mexican food we get at Rancho Grande...its much better!
4. There is a trash system, but it sucks.
5. We eat breakfast, lunch at 2-4 (Which is a huge meal), and a small meal at 8-9 (Which is like sweetbread and milk)
6. There is no air conditioning in houses
7. Every street has a vendor selling food.
8. You cant buy flags, and people dont display them..Tells me they may not like their government? haha
9. It is quite normal for married men to cat call U.S women.
and last but of course not least...
10. They dont sell Jumbo margaritas like Rancho Grande! They are just little baby ones!

Forever ago!
Its been a while since I have added anything new! Sorry guys..if you even keep up on it! Last week was really fun
Wednesday I learned how to Salsa!! It was sooo much fun to do and I am glad I experienced it..I think that I am going to go this week sometime to learn!
Thursday, we went out to a little bar called the Bulla. I am not sure what that means but we had a fun time trying it!
Friday, we all headed to our favorite bar Krudelia with the ISU students! It was so nice to just relax with all the ISU students on our last couple of weeks here! After that we went to the club Juarez that is what we always go to.
Saturday, my friend Jenny and I went to a town called Tepoztlan for the markets! Suprisingly I DIDNT buy anything!! It was great there were alot of venders and such and we ate at a cute little whole in the wall restaurant in the town.
Sunday, we went to churhc at the Cathedral for mass with a Mariachi band! It was really fun, but there were a lot of people there...After that we went to a garden and of course..more shopping in the centro! That was really fun too. After, we all high tailed to a little store with some artificial vanilla only to find out it was CLOSED! Soooo we headed up to get some ice cream from our favorite little ice cream shop called "Santa Clara"
I will be sure to put some pictures up tomorrow and add anything I may have forgotten!!

Acapulco
This weekend, we took an excursion through the school to the lovely oceans of Acapulco. We left about 7 Friday morning and arrived in Acapulco about noon! We stayed a little hotel called "Hotel Tortuga" Which means turtle for the English speakers out there!
Jenny, Jenny, Charissa and I went down to our little pool which had a swim up bar. All the other ISUers were there also! After about 2 hours there we were exhausted! We went back up to our room and took a little nap before the group headed to the cliffs to watch the Cliff Divers. It was pretty cool to watch that! There were about 5 Mexican guys in spedos who dive off of a 50 foot cliff into the Ocean! It was neat. We were going to go out after that but we were all exhausted! So we just hung out on the deck for a while.
Saturday, we took a bus to a nice beach about a 20 minute drive from the hotel. There wehad tuns of fun playing in the Ocean! We got to boogie board, swim, and just have fun relaxing! After that we headed back to the hotel for ANOTHER nap! We all got dolled up and went out to eat at Applebees--The most American food we have eaten since weve been here! After that, we went to the clubs in Acapulco--It was quite interesting! I have learned the importance of ignoring men in Mexico when you are tall and blonde..they dont see them very often! I will not miss that when I get back to the states! I learned how to dance Marengue and experience that part of Mexicos culture! Also that staying out to 5 oclock is how they party in Mexico....I am not a big fan of that since I was tired at about 11...
I had a great time in Acapulco and feel sooo blessed to be able to travel here!!! Check back for more!!
