My house is so cool!

Don't have a lot to say today, I mainly just wanted to upload pictures of my new house and the new colony I live in! It's so nice here! I love it! This will probably be the first and last time I live in a gated community. haha. So I have to take it all in while I can before I go back to live in a tiny or as we say in Mexico - chiquito apartment. My host mom and host family is so so kind and loving and sweet! My host mom especially. Her name is Mónica and she has a son who is around 15 or 16 named Alejandro and a daughter Daniela who is 21 as well. And 2 of her nieces live here too - Sofia and Natalia. I have only met Sofia so far and Mónica's 2 kids so far, but they all seem very nice! The housekeeper Claudia is really nice as well. This coming weekend on Saturday I have to go to Mexico City with my class and we are going to go to the Anthropology museum so that will be fun! The only bad thing is that we are going to have to write a long essay about it....Hopefully it won't be too hard though with the help of my tutor Marisol. And yesterday I went to Telcel - which is a mexican phone company and bought a new cell phone because my last was was given to me and was quite janky to be honest. So that's that. And today I had salsa class, but there weren't a lot of people there today. We have been learning a lot of different combinations, which is cool, but also quite difficult. I think I have trust issues with the boys dipping me. Haha. I always fear that they are going to drop me - probably because the american boy I always get stuck paired with almost dropped me like twice. And I feel even more afraid when my dancing partners are shorter than me which unfortunately happens quite a bit, but not too much thankfully. 
Hasta luego!
