Hola Todos!
I miss all of you -- I can't wait to see all your lovely faces in January. But as of now, I am enjoying my time abroad. Hi to all the new Bonners. I've heard a lot of awesome things about you.
So I guess I am suppose to share my adventures here in Guanajuato. Let's just say, everyday is a new adventure -- I seriously have to train my brain to think in Spanish and sometimes it can be extremely difficult. I volunteer along with Heather and Sarah. I am pretty sure we're all enjoying our volunteer site. Some days can be very boring and its disheartening at times, because I want to do more but there's only so much you can do in 2 hours. The girls at La Casa de Buen Pastor (a foster-home run in a convent) can be great and productive but there's times when they're stubborn and won't do their homework. However, I do like visiting them 2x a week -- besides its the best way to practice my Spanish.
Ok besides volunteering my days are spent touring Guanajuato ... I have a 15 minute walk from my house to school. Guanajuato is all hills!!! My legs are receiving the best workout. Despite walking all over, I do like it -- the buildings here are so colorful and the people are really nice. My host family rocks ... they have so much patience. Sometimes I feel so bad for them because my Spanish at times isn't up to par! ... but they understand.
Lets see...my favorite adventure thus far...too many to name but one of my favorite memories is walking down my callejon (alley way) eating a warm quesadilla at 10:30 at night with my housemate. I don't know what that's so memorable but it is. We don't eat dinner until 9 or 9:30 here.
Alrighty that's it for now. Sorry I have nothing else to say this time around... Nos Vemos, Hasta Luego!
BONNER LOVE
Meghan!
