Getting situated

I've spent the last couple of days hanging out with my family and settling in to my new casa. There's so much to tell about my host family--they're so much fun. Last night, I went with Farath and a couple of her friends to a movie and a little cafecito afterwards. They're muy buena gente, I'm really excited to be rollin' with such a relaxed and fun crowd. At the movies, we put salsa picante and lemon on our popcorn, and I'm never eating popcorn any other way ever again. It's delicious.

Afterward, we came home and watched the rest of this RIDICULOUS novela called Pasion, that I'm actually starting to get into. It's one of those things where at first you're like "are you serious?" and then you can't stop watching it! The rest of the night was spent chatting with my host mom and sister over homemade refried beans and tortillas and cafecitos.

Tonight we're making mole and platanos fritos...mmmmm.

So, no new news...I've just been exploring Tlalpan with my host sister, getting oriented to the district, and getting to know my host family. They're really incredible people...I must've done something right to live with them!
