a southern experience....

first day as 24....


so this year, the birthday was a success. we have finally found ourselves in a place that seems to be working like clock work. yesterday i awoke to a phone call from my mom who sang me happy birthday all the way from canada followed by yet another call from my grandmother, i was really touched by hearing my family call and give me strength and energy on my day. after breakfast and speaking to my dad and my stepmom we enjoyed the pool and got some sun. i dined yet again, at a very mexican restaurant eating tortillas de maiz con carne, y pastel y (por supuesto) tequila. after a run, and another bail, i blame the tequila and the uneven streets of mexico, we went out for the evening and made a perfect end to a perfect day.
today, after visiting a secluded beach with jorge's sister carmen and her giant pro basketball playing boyfriend, jorge heard from a job prospect and is heading to an interview tomorrow, i'm really proud of him and all of the changes he has coming to him, much like myself, we have really found a common ground on which to understand eachother. i leave for honduras (by plane) on thursday, i'm feeling really nervous about what i'm going to do with myself. i feel like maybe this country isn't so much kicking my ass but more so upset that i'm leaving. to tell you the truth, i definitley will be missing mexico, in particular la musica y las paletas de arroz (which i definitely need to curb the frequency).
so things are good, i know this will be a full month so right now, i'm enjoying the lazy days of mexico.
lots of love and thanks to everyone and their birthday wishes.
tu mexicana,
kate
