Our American Day

PS: Tuesday was the most American day ever. Let me explain. First off, it was raining, storming, and icky all day: not Mexico-like at all. We are all confused and disappointed by the weather. Classes were fun and interesting as usual, but for once we did not have any homework!! After school we were lost . . . no homework to do . . . and no want to do anything outside because the weather was so bad!

So, I came home and slept for a few hours. When I woke up I ate some food, and what a shock I have no idea what I ate lol, and then went over to Lee Anne’s house. Mckenna met up with us, and when Lee went out with another friend, Mckenna and I went to the mall. The main mall here is very small, but very modern and expensive. Aka—American. There is a Starbucks, Lacoste, Zara, Athlete’s Foot, Sears, Steven Madden, the list goes on. Walking into it is like walking into any mall in the states, just everything is in Spanish.

Mckenna and I walked around for a bit like teenagers who think they are cool do after school in the states. Yeah…we felt really cool. For some reason no one was doing anything that night, everyone was just chilling at their homes. At 9 the mall closed, so we headed to what we knew would be open: Walmart. Awful right? Ah I know, but I really needed some loofas. So we hung out there for a bit and then figured out we were hungry.

To McDonald’s it was! Fries and a soft serve cone hit the spot. I seriously never do so many typical American things in California or Oregon. I never go to fast food, and Walmart in the US is bad enough, I cannot even imagine it in Mexico. Oh globalization.
