Welcome to Puebla
Hola todos!!
Well I managed to get to Mexico safely. It was quite
an adventure! I am at the terminal waiting to board
and the tinyest little airplane pulls up to the gate.
I turned and looked at my professor and my concern was
obviously written all over my face. He laughed and
said it would be fun! I doubted him. But he was
right! It was noisy it was bumpy... the comparison I
came to was it was like spending two hours on the
serpent at astroworld. (The serpent is the kiddy
version of the viper.) The flight went by so quickly
though! I was sitting next to a lady that lives in
Puebla but is from tulsa and so she spends half of her
time there and half here in Mexico. Her name is
December (yes, like the month) and we really hit it
off. We talked... welll yelled is a little closer to
it with how noisy that plane was... the whole flight.
She gave me the names and locations for several
restraunts to try while I am here. We are going to
try and get together sometime next week for dinner.
Out flight got in at 11 pm and we were one of 3
flights that had come in all day at the airport so
getting through customs was mostly painless. we were
at our dorms and checked in by midnight and I finally
managed to get unpacked, settled, and to bed at 2ish.
6:30 came very very early this morning. Breakfast was
an exerience... With our eggs they served a side of
black beans (which I was somewhat expecting) and a
vegtable medly tye dish with green beans, peas, corn
and such (which kinda threw me) It was quite tasty
however. I then spent the rest of the morning doing
placement tests. I actually managed to get placed in
the level I am needing... which suprised me a little
because everyone else in our group placed below where
they were supposed to be. Lunch was very fun they had
a banquet for us. Mariachis serenaded us for our first
two courses. It was very entertaining. Now I am off
for a nap before spending the rest of the evening
studying. I hope you are all doing great. I will be
sending you links to two websites sometime this week
one will be to the pictures from the trip and the
other to my blog. Feel free to write me it will be
great to hear from home over the next seven weeks. I
miss you all already!!
Wish you were here
