Happy Mothers Day-in the US anyway...May 10 is always Mother's Day in Mexico, so our host families will be celebrating tomorrow. We are here safe & sound obviously :) I just found out my host family has wifi so that's great news :) Im posting this from my phone now in mi cuarto. I can't speak for everyone else because I haven't talked to them yet, but I'm having a great time so far. I miss my hubby & family but am so glad to have this experience! My host family is very very nice and I'm living with my host mom, her daughter (late 20s), her teenage son, and her daughters husband and their kids (6son &7daughter). They are all very nice and the kids couldn't be sweeter :) the little girl & boy have been teaching me some things :)
So far the food I've had has been very yummy! And a lot of food (so mom don't worry!).
Yesterday we went to the zocalo (town square) and the market-I'm going to have to be careful there-I saw a LOT of things I'd like to buy!!! It's hot here but not humid at least and when there's a breeze its pretty nice! En mi cuarto el ventillador is my best friend haha!
The exchange rate for dollars to pesos here is a little over 11 which is better than at the airport or in the US according to Dr. Holtz.
Today we will go to a museum close to here and hopefully I can go to sleep fairly early--we have to meet mañana a los fuentes a las 7 de la mañana-3 of us will be at the peds hosp this week with Dr. Wilson and the other 3 will be at hospital civil.
I'll try to blog again tomorrow and be able to put in my classmates' inputs too :)
¡Hasta mañana, cuidate!

It sounds like everything is going great Court! I'm happy to hear your host family is nice. So will you be in the peds hospital this week or next? Tenga un buen dia y coma mucha comida!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah :)
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry...I'll be at the peds hosp this week-I'm really excited :)
oh and trust me... Estoy comiendo BASTANTE comida ... It's just a good thing we have been walking a lot jajaja!!!
Hey Court! I have a HUGE favor to ask you. There has been some kind of mistake with our Research grades and on my academic transcript it has NR besides Nursing Research which means no grade was reported by the instructor. I have emailed Dr. Wilson but I was wandering if she even has access to email or who I should contact. It didn't even credit me those 3 class hours toward my gpa so I only have 8 credit total hours no instead of 11. I was hoping you could relay the message to check her email or let me know she wont be able to check it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your help! Sounds like you ladies are having an awesome time over there and I'm pretty jealous about the Children's Hospital...enjoy every minute!
