Fall Fun

The International Balloon Festival came to town again.  It's one of my favorite times of the year.  The sky if full of balloons and just looking at all of them brings a smile to your face.  My favorite this year was the ice-cream cone.  There were also Darth Vader and Elvis balloons!

Sadly, the Leon soccer team's season came to a close today in the semi-finals.  They played well, but just not well enough to beat the other team.  Fans can't be too disappointed though, because the team got a lot farther than anyone expected.  I'll miss going to the stadium... until next year!  (Fun fact: I was featured on the post-game tv report eating peanuts! hahaha)

In less than 1 month I'll be back in the USA for the Holiday Season!  xoxo and hohoho!

Halloween

It's finally getting a little chilly here in Mexico (which means you need to wear a jacket in the morning and at night). I dont mind however, since I am sick of wearing my summer clothes for 7 months straight now.

 

The school where I work had their annual Halloween Party last week.  We had a great turnout by the students and I got to be a judge in the costume contest.  Halloween isnt traditionally celebrated in Mexico, but like most things American, it has invaded the culture. 

It was exciting for me to follow the Tigers' World Series run.  That is, until they got swept by the Giants in the end.  Since I work in the evening, it's hard to watch the games.  But even if I was able to watch them, it's hard to find baseball on tv since every channal puts soccer first.

In other sporting news, the Leon soccer team is in 3rd place in the first division and has qualified for the playoffs in a few weeks.  That's a pretty big deal since their are 18 teams and Leon wasn't even in the first division last season! 

My birthday is right around the corner and then comes the winter Holiday season...I'm excited to come home over Christmas Break and spend time with the family :-)
