We met all kinds of people today

Today we woke up with no more bites, lukily. We had eggs and some sort of sausage for breakfast. It was good, but not our favorite of Mama's dishes. We also had fresh fruit and peach yogurt with coffee. Mama realized that we weren't eating the papaya today. Jillian choked down one piece, and Sarah didn't even bother. Mama asked, "you don't like this one?" We were busted. haha We told the truth, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

We got quizzed over verb conjugations today in the strict teacher's class. It turned into a sort of fun game. For conversation class, we visted a private university here in Cuernavaca. Our teacher's daughter attends this particular school. We got to talk to some of the students there. It was very interesting and different from the University life in the US. It was really strange for us to see boys at school because Columbia College has warped our minds a little. Communicating with boys, especially in a school setting, has become a pretty awkward for us. We met one boy, for example, who was born in Spain. His parents are from Spain too, but he has lived his whole life in Cuernavaca. Let us just say that Spain knows how to make 'em. He was very handsome, and we were a bit shy when it came to talking to him. We also met our teacher's daughter and her friends. We loved getting to see students just like us but in another culture.

After school we had one of the best comidas yet! It was this sort of brothy soup with onions and cheese in it. Then we had toquitos with cheese and spinach in them. Of course, we each put our favorite combo of sour cream, cheese, and salsa on top. Paco, the cuter son of our Mama again ate comida with us. There is a family joke about Paco because he puts sour cream in/on everything he eats. We teased him today about sharing "his" sour cream with us. Everyone had a good laugh. Then he teased us that babies on a diaper commercial spoke more spanish than we can. He's a pretty funny guy when your not giggling so loud you can't hear him talk.
Of course we are somewhat kidding about our obsession with Paco. Besides, Mama calls us her "hijas," or daughters, and we call her Mama. Entonces, that would make us siblings with Paco. We're in Mexico, not Arkansas. :)

After comida, Jillian took a 30 minute nap, and then we took a cab down to the Centro. We went to the Robert Brady museum. It was SO COOL. He was a very eccentric man who died in his 50s in Cuernavaca. His father owned a some sort of traveling company, so he never really had to work. He spent his whole life collecting interesting art, furniture, and various other things. He has stuff (for lack of a better word) from allllll over the world. He really liked primitive art, so he traveled all over into far-away villages. Let's just say, he didn't spend much time in tourist-beaten paths. We think we are going to go back because there was so much to see!

At the museum we heard a group of people speaking English. One girl and 4 boys. We encountered a funny Canadian tour guide who was telling us all fun facts about Robert Brady. After the tour, we started talking with our guide and the group of students about where we are from etc. The boys quickly pointed out our Southern accents. Two of the boys are from Ohio, one is from Holland, and the other is from Germany. The girl is from Switzerland. The girl was quiet, and went back home after the tour. The rest of us went to a restaurant that is really popular in the Centro especially for students from other countries. We sat around and talked for a couple hours. They are all really nice, and we taught them funny things that southerner's say. J'eet yet? Y'ount too? I ain't talked to you in a coon's age. You're actin ugly. etc. They thought it was pretty funny, and we poked fun when the boys from Ohio said things like "mahnster (monster), Haakey (Hockey), caahw (cow)." The Europeans thought it was all hilarious that kids from the same country poked fun at the same language. They also didn't believe that it's still legal to beat your wife on the court house steps with the good ole' rule of thumb, especially the German guy. So sweet. We still think he thinks we were lying or joking about it. Sadly, no.

We think we might meet up again with them for a movie or something. Don't worry mommas... just friends :)

Now we're studying for our exams tomorrow. eek.

Wish us luck!

Can't believe the week is almost up!
