Viernes es el fin de la semana!















I can't figure out how to use UDLA's library system, so I just end up walking aimlessly around the library looking for books. I tried using the database search, and after finding a book, was told that it didn't exist in the library. I'm not saying that I've given up, but I have now reverted to using UD's online articles. I'll figure this out one of these days. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying UD's online article database.

So, I started this post probably an hour ago, but after answering the doorbell, became incredibly distracted by my laundry and a conversation about life and such with my Mexican father. Me gusta mi padre mucho. P.s. he's a huge Obama fan, and utterly unimpressed by the fence that the U.S. wants to build to separate Mexico from the United States. I'm pretty sure that a fence is a very poor solution to this problem as well. I do have a controversial analogy about the subject....but,

But anyways, today was no-class Friday (as every Friday is), so we went on a day-trip in an unnecessarily huge tour bus to two churches. We went to Tontantzintla: though it looks like an ordinary Mexican church on the outside, inside is extremely ornate and barroque. For the other church, we only went inside the tunnels underneath and walked around.

Well, enjoy the photos!



























Leron and Christina going down the steps on their butts....cutest thing.




























P.s. I swear I'll get better with my picture placement - in the meantime, know that I'm trying.
