So this last few days have been fun!
Monday night for FHE two people, a brother and a sister,
came to perform some traditional Yucatecan dances for us! It was so cool!
Look! SHE HAD A WHOLE TRAY ON HER HEAD. WHILE SHE’S DANCING. So crazy!
Tuesday we went to Institute for the first time here! When I saw the church building... Woah! It's beautiful!
After Institute ended, Gabi and I wanted to take a quick peek at the temple, since it is literally RIGHT NEXT to the Institute building. Oh my goodness it is so pretty! It’s small, but it’s really gorgeous!
Wednesday was quite the adventure.
Our last class of the day got cancelled again (which
unfortunately means 4 hours again on Tuesday…), so Kelsey and I decided to go
check out the mall that we pass every day on our way to school. It’s was super
fancy, like Gran Plaza. Except one thing made it so much better…
THERE WAS A PET SHOP!
But that’s not it…
THEY HAD PUPPIES IN THE PET SHOP!
And the black lab was sooooo cute~
Look at him!:
I was so happy!
After we went home, we helped mamá make lunch: flautitas
(taquitos) and a vegetable soup. It was super yummy! But in the middle of
lunch, our two roommates came home and asked if we wanted to go with them on an
adventure with some people from our group and a guy who is a member of the
church, Daniel. So… off we went!
When I got into Daniel’s car… His car doesn’t have usable
seatbelts. Which would be okay (I guess...), except that he is a MANIAC driver! While we
were blasting music, he would swerve and hit the brakes to the beat.
Honestly, he was basically driving like this:
It was fun, but also a little scary!
We ended up going to a cenote in a town called Homun. We had
to enter in from a hole in the ground, and it was essentially a cave. It was
all fine and dandy until one of the boys told us that the pebbles on the ground
that we were stepping on was bat poo. Yummy. I just tried not to think about
it…
Here are Gabi, Kate, and I!:
It was super fun though! I didn’t get many pictures though
since I didn’t want to bring my camera in case it got wet…
While driving back, I saw so many homeless dogs. It made me
so sad to think that all those dogs didn’t have a home! I just about turned
into the Cat Lady in that E-Harmony video (except with dogs), wishing I could
make all the doggies in the world happy, and be on a rainbow… And… and…
To make matters worse, Gabi said she saw a dead dog on the
side of the road. I’m so glad I didn’t see it, otherwise I definitely would
have burst into tears!
Then when we went out for dinner, there was this cute kitty
that was sitting nearby our table. Gabi pointed out that it probably had worms
because its stomach was so swollen, but it was so skinny other than that! It
was so, so sad. So we gave it some of our food in hopes of giving it a better
life. But then it stared at us with its adorable eyes… I wanted to take it home
so badly! :’(
That’s the one thing that can without fail, make me cry...
Anything sad relating to animals. Sad
animal videos, animal abuse, and seeing animals without a home that aren’t in
the wild… It’s the worst!
… Gyah! Enough of this sadness! Onto something happy!
There are so many pretty rainbows here! I've seen at least 5 since being here the past few weeks! I love it!
For example:
And this one was actually a DOUBLE rainbow! :)
Jeez I wish there was always a constant rainbow in the sky... They're so pretty!
Anyway, this weekend is going to be so much fun! We're planning on going to the beach tomorrow and going to Celestun on Saturday. I can't wait to tell you all about it! :)
