Summer's over

About 2 months ago I got back from my one month vacation in the USA - it was fantastic.  I got to spend a lot of time with my family, was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding, and went on vacation to South Dakota with college friends. 



Well I'm back in Mexico now and decided I'm still not quite sure when I want to go back to the USA permanently.  I like my job and make enough money to live decently so I'm happy here for the time being. 

My last blog I had written about how the Leon soccer team had ascended to the first division.  Well, we're halfway through the new season now and the team is in 4th place (out of 17  teams) - pretty good!  And get this: I give private English classes to the coach!  He is a funny guy, from Uruguay, and very enthusiastic about everything he does.  And the best part is, he gives me free tickets to the games!  So I have enjoyed going to the stadium to watch the team. 


September 16the was Independence Day in Mexico.  I celebrated in the traditional way - going to a party, drinking tequila, and eating a traditional Mexican soup called pozole.  Check out my sombrero!  Do you think I'd pass for a Mexican?
