1st day out and about

Howdy everyone!!

Today was my first day traveling around the city of Irapuato.  I woke up today at 7:30 and went out in service..eh around 8.  During the morning, Brother Bill worked with my nana and me and this brother is a RIOT.  Him and his wife are currently living with us here for another two weeks before they decide if they want to live in Mexico.  They are the sweetest couple ever, I really hope they decide to move down here.  Anyway I went out for a bunch of hours today and then drove around for a little bit to get an overview of the city.  The years I've traveled here before, I never knew how beautiful this city really was.  On all the streets, every house is a bright, neon color with the wildest window designs.  Pure beauty, I tell you.  If you can, I highly suggest coming down to Mexico and seeing the non-tourist towns.  Thats where Mexico's purest beauty is. Anyway...I've been on a Mexican food run. I've eaten saltines and cream cheese for my snacks :p haha I've had a few quesadillas already but my nana likes to cook "regular" food, like you could get in a restaurant. 

I'm all settled into my room, organized the way I like it.  The colors are a light green and a bright pink (like the color of my actually room).  The timing for the people down here is so different though. No one starts the day until 8 or 9 or whenever they feel like opening the stores. The afternoons last until 7 at night and they usually eat dinner around 10.  Crazy...but we usually eat around 5:30 or 6.  The teens out here usually go out together late like that so good thing I'm a night owl and am used to being out (Thanks to the incredibly long drives from Josh, Jake, and Giorgio's house). 

Dinner is up so I have to bounce.  I'll keep you guys posted :)
