My Quest in Querétaro

Yesterday I had the privilege of going to Mexico City AGAIN with my class. We went to 2 museums - Museo Rufino Tamayo and Museo de Arte Moderno. Both were really cool, but I think I enjoyed the modern art museum better because that had art that was more my style. It had super famous works from Diego Rivera and Frida Khalo among many others. It was cool to see such famous art pieces in person within your reach! The Rufino Tamayo art museum had a lot of conceptual art and art that I just don't really understand or care for that much. But to each their own. Some of the conceptual art I found quite funny, so I took pictures of it :)

Life is going great in my new house still with my new host family. Something I enjoy is free range in the kitchen, so today for breakfast I made myself a bacon and cheese omelet. It was delightful. And my host mom had made these little bar things too- they reminded me a lot of Baklava, which is ALWAYS good. Who knew that one would be Baklava tasting things in Mexico? I know I didn't.

Today I'm meeting with my friends Leslie (my now roomie) and Amelie because we are finalizing spring break plan stuff. Can't wait for spring break! I never go anywhere warm or super cool for spring break so this is a first and I'm so excited!

It's a beautiful day here in Mexico as per usual. Sunny and super warm. It's like I get 10 months of summer it seems like, but I don't mind that. I do mind it when I have to walk around in the hot sun during the day though. But, there is a pool for this colony to use, so I'll have to take advantage of that real quick!

That's all for now. Enjoy the pictures!

Hasta luego!

This picture and the rest are taken at the Museo de arte moderno - the museum I liked the most.

taken at the anthropology museum, unfortunately we ran out of time, so we didn't even get to go into this museum, so I just snapped a shot of this cool picture.

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!
