This is Not a Drill

Hola!

Meet our new family: Diego, Betti, Grace, Hanni, and little Diego (who goes by Diegito).
Our favorite is Diegito, who sounds like an Ewok from Star Wars when he talks/makes noise.  So far he peeks around the corner into our room out of curiosity only to run away in fear. His mom says he is confident but afraid. We are planning on being amigos mejores by the end of the week. Grace and Hanni have adorable school uniforms.  Having been to Mexico before, Emily is unfazed by this.  Ashley, however, cannot stop talking about them.

Betti quickly picked up on our coffee habits, and she offers it to us several times a day.  In return, we offered the viewing of our favorite movie as a family activity.  Will Ferrell in tights translates quite well into Spanish.  Laughter is a universal language!  The next movie on our playlist is Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.  Or as our Mexican friends know it, Lluvia de Hamburguesas.

We ate tortilla con intestines. It was an...experience.

We have many gecko amigos in our room. We named them all Nico, they climb on the walls, and make weird noises. Diego and Betti tried to chase them out of our rooms with a broom, killing one, three more were back in its place in the morning.

Hasta Luego. . .
