today´s my last full day in guadalajara... actually, i´m heading to tequila (yes, there´s a place called tequila where tequila is actually from - go figure) with some fellow classmates. this means no more home-stay.... which i have to say i´m looking forward to as the food i´m being fed could easily take ten years off my life if i ate like this on a regular basis.
i´ve never had so many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on wonderbread in my life.
however, bad cooking aside, the family i´ve been staying with has been very nice. at least i think they have been... from the spanish i can actually understand!
yesterday evening i was woken up from my siesta (the heat here really drains you) by my host mom - speaking to me through my door en español. we had a conversation of sorts - me responding yes or no as i saw fit, and eventually i concluded that i was going with the family somewhere... now.
i hop in the car, where the family has been waiting (for who knows how long) and i lean over to their oldest son and ask where we are going.
to grandma´s place. this is a friday night ritual.
excellent.
i don´t know why, but i found this extremely funny. good thing i trust these people.
the evening wasn´t so bad - we drank some tequila, ate some popcorn and talked (i mostly listened). my opinion was occassionally called upon when it came to the subjects of public education and abortion - these subjects weren´t covered in my classes this week. i want my money back!!. try making a decent argument for pro-choice with a bunch of catholics who don´t speak english. good times. sometimes one has to set one´s opinions aside....
oh, and i was also asked if i would marry the brother of my host mom (whom i met on sunday evening and concluded that he very likely isn´t so into the ladies...). i politely declined.
i should probably go meet up with the tequila tour.
i´ll try to upload some photos soon.
