A couple weeks ago, the annual International Hot Air Balloon Festival came to town! The festival
is held in a park, and the balloons go up over a lake. It is really cool - some of the balloons are characters, like Spongebob, Darth Vader, a panda, and Coca-Cola bottle! Check out the photo of me in front of the stinger of my high school mascot: the hornet (the butt was all that was left of the balloon by the time I walked over to its landing spot. lol)

Earlier this week, one of my fellow teachers and friends here, Corie, left to go back to the USA. She only planned to stay for about a year, and her year is up, so she's returning to her job as a manager at a Target branch in Reno, Nevada. It was sad to see her go: she was one of my roomates and since we arrived on the same day to Mexico this year (Jan. 4), it was easy to bond over our experiences here.
In 2 weeks I'll be back in Michigan to visit family and friends for the Holidays! I can't wait to see everyone and I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!
