I have seriously never had so much fun in my life than I have had the last few days. The first day we spent was the first night of Carneval, La Noche de los Comadres. It was girls night out, so most of the group went out dancing. It was a little awkward at first because we were there about 2 hours before anything really started, but once we started to dance, it was a lot of fun.
The next night, we had a party at my host family´s house. My host mom Susanna has a son named Tarek, who is 17 and he had a bunch of his friends over and most of the group came over too. We stayed up really late talking and listening to music and it was super chill and fun.
My host family is super awesome. My host mom is a vegitarian hippie with the most wonderful house ever. People are always coming and going and it is super warm and open. Susanna speaks no English, which has been a really good challange for my Spanish, but her son and some of the younger folks who come in and out of the house speak varying amounts of English so there has never been any trouble communicating. The food has been absolutly wonderful, and now that I am not feeling the altidud, I am eating a lot more. One odd thing is that there is no official dinner in the house. You pretty much have to fend for yourself, and for the most part, I eat crackers and bread for dinner. Hoefully I can find some real food tonight, because I am super hungry.
