mexican thoughts

It's funny how being in Mexico changes my whole state of mind. Not only am I thinking, observing, and debating in my head, but it's half in spanish. It's funny to catch myself translating thoughts from time to time that I have at rare moments...back into English...never experienced that.

If you haven't figured it out yet...I am in Mexico City. I arrived this past Saturday the 5th and will arrive back to NYC on the 25th.

I have so many things I'd like to type.
When I arrived the family I'm staying with welcomed me. My roommate Marissa wasn't arriving till later that evening. So I got to struggle with the limited spanish vocab. It was fun though. The husband speaks some english but the wife doesn't. There's 2 kids, they are about 27 and 29, so I guess not really kids. but they speak english well enough to understand us.

I have done so much so far, and I am only just finishing the first week here. I'm exhausted and my head hurts. But honestly this country is incredible! The history and culture doesn't even compare to the US.
THere's so much to see and so much to learn.
You were right, this is a life changing experience.

So much that I am at a loss for words.
Until later.
adios
