To Debbie Today:
Hey! Yeah, Mexico's great! It's really nice here. I love my family and I get along with all of the American students well too. Except today I got "el gripe" and it really stinks. one of the girls got it yesterday too but she was fine today so hopefully I'll be fine by tomorrow. I had no voice and bad stomach pains all night last night and today. I had to skip a class to go home and sleep and I threw up right outside the door. Then I slept for about 6-7 hours and didn't eat anything until like an hour ago - 3 crackers. I was so excited to finally eat something because I threw up everything that I ate this morning. LAME. lol. I'm sure that's so exciting for you to hear about. How's school? what are your new classes? how's the roommate situation? going well? Love ya, Stephi


To Justin Today:
Hey Justin,I'm finally sending you an e-mail on my computer - the one I used on Sunday had an international keyboard so it was all awkward to write. Well, i absolutely love Mexico. Querétaro is a HUGE city - about a million people - imagine that, Kalamazoo has like 100,000, so it seems so big. At first, I wasn't sure what to think about it, I wasn't too impressed. But now I really like it. Everyone here is relaxed and having a good time. It's a pretty safe city too. I'm in an "internet cafe" right now, minus the cafe, haha. It's pretty cheap to use. My family is really cool. In Querétaro, the mom is basically in charge of the family. The dad goes to work and the mom stays at home. A lot of the kids live at home until forever because living on their own is so expensive. The kitchen is the center of everything. After I go to bed I can hear everyone in the kitchen just talking and hanging out. It's especially cool because the daughter and her husband and their 2 little boys are visiting from France and they're super nice. It will be hard to see them leave in just a couple of days. I can only imagine how sad my host mom (Lupita) will be. The dad is pretty cool too, he's kinda like, retired, or he has an excuse from work or something. He's so laid back and kinda reminds me of a grandpa. Today, I got "el gripe," which in Spanish is the flu. it was really, really lame. So I've been sleeping most of the day. All I ate that stayed down was 3 crackers after sleeping for like 7 hours. I couldn't eat anything else the whole day. blegh... I had to skip class to go home. besides that, I've been having a good time. I'm only taking 2 classes so far, the ones for the american students. The rest start on Monday and that will be cool. I hope I make a lot of Mexican friends.
