Feliz 4 de Julio


Miércoles - 4 de Julio.
Día 20. “Feliz 4 de Julio”
                Happy 4th of July everyone! Celebrating from Mexico was definitely not as fun as being on the lake with family and friends, but our school did throw a little party for us. After our normal morning classes we headed out to the garden, where we sang the national anthem and had hot dogs in honor of 4th of July, and watched a student perform a Michael Jackson dance. It was quite funny I must say. After that going back to class was the last thing we wanted to do, but he headed back for normal afternoon conversation classes, which seemed to go by really fast today- and then onto making crafts. We didn’t know what we were making, but apparently we were preparing for tomorrow, so we will see! After school Mamá also made La Comida to celebrate the 4th. She made Tacos, with blue corn tortillas, red salsa, and of course the white cream that they seem to add to everything here!
                Around 5 we headed to El Centro again for a dinner with some other students from Universidad Internacional at a restaurant called “100% Natural” it was delicious! After dinner we spent some more time walking around El Centro and Kenzie and I decided to get Henna Tattoos. My first one still isn’t gone, but I still thought it would be fun to have another. After we got home and had La Cena, I Skyped Mom and the Family in the United States so that I could watch fireworks live over the lake! It was great! But I think I have decided I have to avoid missing the 4th of July from now on. No idea what tomorrow holds.. but until then.. Happy 4th!
