¿Donde está Taylor?: Palacio de Cortés

Martes – 19 de Junio.

Día 5. “Palacio de Cortés”

Day 2

Today started off much better, after deciding to go to bed early last night. Ha! That’s going to be rare on this trip, there is always so much to do and so little time. Today our first class was just like yesterday, a small group with lots of vocab and grammar was added today. Que Interestante! After a small break our afternoon class wasn’t much of a class at all. We all walked to the Superama, the grocery store near our school. We explored, learned so many random foods, and picked up ingredients for our cooking class that was to follow. Today we made Pico de Gallo and Guacamole! When we got home from school Mamá had La Comida ready to go. Today it was very traditional- rice, beans, and some sort of chip crisps. We didn’t quite get the real name. Just a little lost in translation still… :P

Palacio de Cortés

Then we left for our outing to the Palacio de Cortés in El Centro. I must say the building was interesting, but listening to a women talk in Spanish for an hour and a half about ceramic pots was not exactly my idea of fun.. but I did have shopping on my mind. After our tour we had some time to look through the markets and buy some souvenirs, and we got our first taste of bargaining. Kenzie and I were proud when we got a hair piece from 70 pesos, down to 55 pesos.. Ha! Tonight we didn’t watch another movie but the finals were on, so we sat outside and turned Nihal’s TV on and watched from outside! Dinner was beyond funny tonight as our sister, Jessica finds it really funny to teach us slang words as Mamá just shakes her head, and ofcourse Papá laughs and adds to the ridiculousness. Tomorrow is a long day so off to bed. Adios!
