Linda's in Oaxaca, Mexico!: Orgulloso a ser Oaxacaquena/o

Today was definitely a fun fun day! Met in front of Santo Domingo for a city tour. We ended up listening to Sra. Esther and her son talk about the history and culture of Oaxaca. She also showed us a bunch of different local fruits and herbs/spices that they use. It was so interesting listening to her, though I didn't get everything she was saying. My favorite part was definitely eating the food! The fruits of Oaxaca were so delicious and sweet and so unique! I think the most memorable for me was the sweet potato here. It is sooooo SWEET that I thought they had added extra sugar or something. I later found out that it was au naturale!

I also had Spanish classes for the first time! I really like my group because we have so much fun in class together! I have to say though...the class was REALLY difficult for me somehow. Usually, spanish class is easy and fun, but today, the article we had to read was just so hard!! :( We literally spent time on EACH sentence trying understand what it saying. I'm just glad our teacher es muy paciente y amable! My group is crazy and we have good laughs :) I am JEALOUS of those who DON'T have Spanish class today though because they got to SALSA! OH SALSA! HOW I MISS THEE!!!

Then afterwards, all of us who were left went to eat tacos! I wasn't hungry, but I decided to eat, and boy was I glad! BEST TACOS OF MY LIFE! :) Got to chat with people in my program too so that's nice :)

Tomorrow, I'm going to visit my clinics so I'm excited for that!
OH YEAH and my internet works now! YAY!

PICTURE TIME!
