Mi Casa de Verano

After travelling Sunday morning via a bus and some taxis (btw—everyone in Mexico uses buses and taxis and the system is amazing, easy, and so incredibly cheap!!), I arrived at my host family’s home!

My beautiful summer home! A traditional colonial style Mexican home...With NO hot water or internet.

The courtyard.

Gracia! My summer kitty!! No doubt I would get assigned a host family with a kitty. She thinks she is a dog because she plays with this guy everyday...

Mollete! A little fat Chihuahua :) No joke-everyone in Queretaro actually have Chihuahua's.


My bedroom. I now sleep under Jesus every night as you can see.

The bathroom...that once again has no water lol. And it's actually not as bad as I thought it would be. PS: you don't flush toilet paper here, you through it away in the trash can. No matter if it's 1 or 2. Makes for extremely smelly public restrooms.

Anyways, my host family is wonderful. My senora Maricela is an English teacher at a bilingual school during the school year. Her only daughterAndrea is 11. I’m also living with Maricela’s father, Luiz, who is retired.

I have so much more to post, but alas no internet at my home :( And I can only use it at school when I can. Much more to come! Miss everyone back in the states and wish you could all be here experiencing this with me!
