A couple months ago I went to see Mexico's version of the famous stage production, The Vagina Monologues. Yes - they have it here in Mexico! It's made up of different monologues read by three women on stage. The 3 monologues, in some way or form have to do with that female part - be it love, menstruation, female genital mutilation, birth, etc... Some of the monologues are hilarious, and some are more serious. I was pleasantly surprised by the production - I thought it was going to have a feminist bent to it - but there were many men in the audience who enjoyed it as well! I was also pleased that I understood about 90% of it.
A month ago, 2 other American teachers and I took a weekend trip to a town about 2 hours away called Queretaro. It's known for being clean, but there isn't much to do. We just browsed the streets in the downtown and later walked to the famous aqueduct. One of the best parts of the weekend was watching tv in the hotel room at night! (since none of us have tvs - haha)
Finally...my Birthday was 1 week ago! I decided to celebrate it on Saturday by going to a nightclub here with some friends. It was really a lot of fun! The music was great and out waiter brought free
shots to the table! In true Mexican style, we stayed until the place closed at 3:30am - then went for a late night snack of tacos afterward. It was one of my best birthdays!
