Puelba!

I made it to Puebla today from Mexico City.  I´ll blog about my last few days in DF another day - I forgot my camera when I came to the internet place, so I can´t post any pictures which are key to the experiences that I had.

I hopped a metro and then a bus today and made it to Puebla in just a few short hours.  My family picked me up at the bus station and brough me home.  The family (Lupita and Salvador) couldn´t be nicer and in many ways so similar to our famiy in Chile.  They are an older couple, with some grand kids in their 20s already.  They live in a nice neighborhood a few miles from the city center and live with a granddaughter (who I have yet to meet).  Just like Carlos and Patricia in Chile, Lupita, the wife, speaks a bit of english and is far more engaged with me and the other student.  The husband, Sadvador, is more like Carlos - he speaks about what he wants, when he wants with no care for whether or not I´ll understand him or not.  He is quite nice as well, just less concerned with people understandng him.

THe house itself is nice, and I even get to sleep in a king sized bed!  There is another student there, from Canada, who the family badmouthed on the way back from the bus statoni for not learning enough spanish!  I hope I don´t get bad mouthed as well.    Oh yeah, and one more thing - I have a giant crucifix over my bed, 2 pictures of jesus in the room, and an open bible in the hallway....  Wow....

I start school tomorrow, so I´ll have a lot more to say then.... until tomorrow or the next day!
