Arrival

Yay! I'm finally in Mexico... again! Everyone arrived safely and so far seems to like it here. The other students met their families at the new school and then went home with them for dinner. Doctora Galloway and I got settled into our apartment, and I must say that it is absolutely fabulous! Six weeks here might not be enough... haha. After settling in, we walked around for a bit searching for a restaurant until we found a lounge-y place tucked away a few blocks from our apartment. I'm not exactly sure what I ate... I just know it was good. Really good. But I guess that shouldn't have come as a surprise since she's been coming here for the past eleven years and knows all the good places! It was comforting to skype with my mom and Abbey when we got back. Love and miss you both! Summers abroad would be very difficult without video chat...

Tomorrow we're diving in quickly and going to climb the pyramids at Teotihuácan. This is the only day of the trip we're allowed to wear shorts, so that's something everyone is looking forward to. It's strange to think I'll hardly be wearing any shorts this summer, especially with it being winter in Peru. All I can say is that I am super excited for what lies ahead and can't wait to get to know everyone better. :)
