Las Grutas, no bull!











Well, the bullfight was a wash, seriously. We cancelled because of the rain, again. I guess a hurricane came inland. It brought with it cold air and nice gentle rain that reminded me of Oregon. I was so homesick! Still we had a great weekend. On Saturday we were invited to the birthday party of the grandmother of Javier. It was very traditional and had mariachis and everything, what a blast. Later at night there were just a few of us left and the cousins of Javier taught us some new dance moves. I enjoyed it so much Javier gave me a copy of the CD we were listening to. lol.
Monday was a holiday here and we didn't have classes. We went to this cave called Las Grutas which really just means "The Caverns". Well, and I guess they really are more caverns than caves. I went expecting the Ape Caves, but instead it was these huge caverns full of lights and sidewalks and we had a guide. It took about 2 hours to go through. There were a couple of women there that were wearing high heals if you can believe it! Very diferent.
We are preparing to make a Thanksgiving dinner here at school, after classes because we have classes on Thursday, boo hoo. ;) Anyway, I've got homework! So this one is short. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving meal Pennie. I'll miss having you with me when I head out to go visit my family for Thanksgiving. I'm so happy that you'll be back soon!

Sorry that you got rained out--it should prepare you for your return to Oregon in winter though... hehe!

I love you Pennie! See you soon!
