On my way...

Up until a few hours ago I was nervous about going to Mexico. I almost felt like saying "I don't want to go." But then I started to relax and after saying goodbye to my friends I felt better. I'm very excited about it and hope that through this blog you all can stay informed of my every day events.

I will be traveling to San Luis Potosi to arrive to a little ranchito outside Rayon and Rioverde called Tortugas. I will be spending all of July down there with my grandmother, helping her remodel a part of her house that's crumbling.

I have not stayed as along as I'm staying since I was really small. I remember when we were in elementary school we would go during the summers and spend more than two weeks down there. I used to love going because to me it felt like a complete different world. One that is much more relaxed, slower and enjoyable. During that time there was no running water, no t.v. so all we had was our imagination. I always remember it as a time where my sister and I ran freely in my grandmother's backyard among the fruit trees. We would climb and swing from them. Sometimes we would have wars with the mandarinas that had fallen and were no longer good to eat.

I'm excited about spending time with my grandma and learning as much as I can about my family. As well as visiting the rest of my family that I have there. I also hope to go to Puebla and maybe if it's possible go to Teotihuacan.

Well comrades I will post later. Hopefully a little after I've arrived. I will try to write every day but I will not post everyday. So you might see a compilation of 1 week of blogs in one update, since I will be having to go to the local town for internet. Isnt it exciting!? It reminds me of my time in China.

Ometeotl.
