Made it to Mexico!

Much has happened since my last post. I got sick last week on Monday, but was pretty much better by Tuesday so I said goodbye to my family on Wednesday morning, and headed out with Bryan to say goodbye to my friends in Seattle and have a couple days of skiing at Whistler before I made this big journey to Mexico. I got re-sick on Saturday, just in time to fly to Mexico, but after a day full of travelling I still feel pretty well. Despite being sick, it's been a great week. I love my family, my friends and my boyfriend, and I am already REALLY missing them.

But- here I am! I finally made it to Mexico, to begin this journey I have been dreaming about for so many years. I had to be at the airport at 4am, but both of my flights went very smoothly and I even got here with all of my bags in tow. My host mom, Maria Elena, seems to be just what you would hope for in a host mom; I haven't met my host siblings yet... Also, I'm living in a situation much nicer than I anticipated- just for an example, I was picked up today in the neighbor's brand new H2. I have my own, simple, room and bath, there's wireless internet in the house, and for dinner- a cheesy quesadilla with fresh Mexican avocados and homemade salsa. Mmm mmm mmm

I haven't spent much time with the other ISA students yet, but tomorrow we will be meeting together for our first orientation.

Sorry this post is a little bit businessey, but I'm tired and ready for bed! I'll be back with more later this week.

I haven't had a chance to take or upload many pictures yet, but here's a pic of my room (via macbook camera...)
