Quinceañera, Ranch, New Apartment

Hey everyone! Since I've been back in Mexico I've done some really "Mexican" things: 1) I've gone to a Quinceañera and 2) I've visited a ranch (farmhouse). The quienceañera is a celebration of a girl's 15th birthday. It is supposed to celebrate her "coming of age" from a girl to a lady. The family throws a big party in a nice event hall and the girl dances with some special selected people (like her father, etc) and then the DJ comes on! (check out the video I included) It was very nice and I can check "Go to a Quinceañera" off my list of things to do in Mexico.
I also went with some students, teachers, and friends to a ranch (farmhouse). We drove about 1 hour to get there and then another half an hour through some very hilly terrain to get to the farmhouse. We set up tents to camp and had a nice bonfire (no smores in Mexico though). The next day we relaxed, rode 4wheelers, and enjoyed the green countryside. It was nice but when I got home I was ready to shower!!
Last weekend, I moved to a new apartment! It's farther from the school, but the overall location is better and the area is quieter. I live with 2 Mexican sisters - they are really nice! So far I'm very happy with the move. The only downside is that I have a longer commute. Here's my new address:
Privada del Rocio 104 int. 102
Jardines del Moral
Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico 37160
