Another Preview!

I'm so sorry! I'm getting really behind on this blog thing!

This past week has been really fun. Tracy, Christina, and I went to 6 Flags on Saturday. It was SO MUCH FUN! I absolutely love amusement parks- and this park did not disappoint. There were TONS of rollercoasters and other fun rides. My favorite was probably what they call the Batman. I was absolutely terrified, but I had a blast.

I didn't bring a camera to 6 Flags because I was scared that someone would steal it. But, here's a picture of that monstrosity.

It was a very long day (I got up at 4am and went to sleep at 3am the next day). But, it was totally worth it and would do it again and again.

On Monday we had our first dancing class with one of the directors, Teo. I have never been a dancer myself, and so I thought that the class was overall, okay. But, the rest of the girls had a blast. I honestly am not a dancer, and don't really enjoy it. But, I praise those who do. At least now if I was forced to dance in Mexico, I'd be able to follow along. I don't know. I think the extent of my "dancing" expertise is dancing to an amazing song. Alone. In my room.

Then, on Tuesday we went out to eat tacos with Rachel and her family. It was really good, and lots of fun. That's about the extent of this past week.

We're coming up on the crazy November vacations! This means, that I have a vacation planned EVERY WEEKEND! Though I'm so excited, I have a lot of work to do :/. We are going to the following places: Taxco, Coscomatepec, Orizaba, Teotiheuacan, Puerto Escondido (and 4 other cities around it), a small city nearby that makes really cool pots (can't remember what it's called), Oaxaca (2x), and.... I think that's everything. So, yes it's going to be crazy busy- but immensely fun!

This weekend we have a day off school so we'll be celebrating in Taxco. Here's a preview of this beautiful city!

Taxco is what they call a "magic city" a couple hours outside of Mexico City. It's called a magic city because the government pays them to keep all of the buildings the same as they were in colonial times. Taxco is a city that makes most of its money on making silver jewelry- so I'm excited to buy lots of suvineers!

Here's some pictures of this beautiful place and some things nearby!

I am a SUCKER when it comes to Baroque cathedrals. Apparently, this is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in all of Mexico. The man that built it went broke because it's filled with gold and silver on the inside. Gorgeous huh?

This is a picture showing the Christ statue on top of the city. Yeah. I'm going there.

There's also these AMAZING caves nearby. Can't wait to see them in person!

Life is good. I'm really missing home right now, but that's typically what happens when you leave home for a long period of time- figures. On the bright side, I have less than two months until I'm back in good ol' Utah. On the downside, I'm leaving Mexico. But, at least I can give it a proper goodbye by seeing everything that I can before I leave. Again, I hope that everyone is safe and happy. I'll be sure and write all about my Taxco experiences when I get back.

Good news! My application for BYU-Idaho finally got finished and I will be hearing of my acceptance in about 6 weeks or less. I'll be sure to shout it from the rooftop when I hear back. I don't think I'll hear what track I'm on until a few weeks after that. Crossing my fingers for Spring/Fall (so I can be with my Anna Marie Elmer again) :)

Funny Student Quote:

One of my teachers was handing out sprinkles to decorate cupcakes in kitchen one day. When she asked "what are these? These are sprinkles" one of the kids started singing "Sprinkle, sprinkle, little star".
