On Tuesday, we had a tour of a very old graveyard. It was dark and the tour guide was telling us creepy stories as we walked between these elaborate tombstones. I thought it was cool, but some of the girls got a little freaked out. Since I left my camera at a club last week (whoops!), I won't be able to post pictures up here anytime soon, so I'll link to some pages so you can see some general pics and maybe learn a thing or two.

Tuesdays and Thursdays is Conversation Club. I've been going if I wake up from my siesta in time. It's kind of a hassle because I have to go all the way back to school (a 40-minute walk or 15-minute bus ride) for only an hour of talking. Last time they made us talk in front of the whole group, which was a little intimidating. It makes me realize how poor my Spanish speaking skills are. I can read and listen just fine, but I just can't think fast enough to formulate what I want to say outloud.

This Wednesday (Ladies' Night!) my two roommates and I went to the same restaurant and club we went to last week. It kind of made us feel like regulars because our waiters came over and greeted us (with a kiss, of course) like we were old friends. I think we'll try a new place next week.

Yesterday our whole study abroad group went to a mariachi festival called Lunadas Tapatíos. It was a very nice place and it was fun to see everyone all dressed up. We got all you can eat and drink as we listened to some mariachi bands do their thing. Molly got some great pictures so hopefully I can snag some from her to put on here. After that, most of us went out to a "disco" and danced the night away. Things don't really get started until around midnight here and then they go all night long. It's kind of hard on the body, but I might as well enjoy it while I'm young, right?

I'm going to Manzanillo next week because we have a three-day weekend because of Mexican Independence Day. I looked at the weather online and it's supposed to be in the high 90s all week. I can't wait to go swimming at a beach that actually has warm water!

Since our classes are only five weeks long, we had midterms this week. I think I did pretty well on them, but I guess I'll find out on Monday. Only two more weeks to go and then I get new classes. I'm going to try to take a liturature or culture class in addition to grammar this time. That will transfer better and then I'll be able to graduate this year!
