Week 1.5: Un hecho de vida: nadie le gustan los insectos.

Happy Fourth of Julyyyy! I hope everyone's had a fun day so far in the United States :)

Mexico doesn’t exactly celebrate Independence Day for the United States (unfortunate, but understandable), so I won’t get to do any sparklers this year! :( And sparklers are my very favorite firework to do... (Probably because I’m too scared to do anything else hahaha).

Anyway, my roommates and I are planning on getting some American food for dinner to celebrate. Maybe pizza or hamburgers from a fast food place or something... We'll see :)

Alright, my activities of the week so far! :)

For Family Home Evening on Monday we learned how to dance Merengue and a couple other typical dances down here. 
I’m probably one of the worst dancers you’ll ever meet in the world. I just can’t do it. And forget it if you think I can dance in a way that requires you to move your hips all fluidly! I’m one of the most uncoordinated people I know! (That’s why I did swimming in high school!) 

But who knows, maybe eventually I’ll learn to shake my hips like Shakira like this baby penguin can…

Tuesday my roommates and I decided to go to Progreso after lunch so we could do our homework there. How often can you say that you went to the beach JUST to do homework?? Definitely a first for me! Awesoooome.

It was raining on our bus ride there, but luckily it stopped by the time we arrived! It was pretty windy and a little overcast there, but it was nice to be in some weather that wasn’t muggy and blinding! Haha :)

Here's Kate and I enjoying the cooler weather:
