I'm going to be brief so I'll have time to put more pictures on here, which I know is all you really want to see!

My roommate and I saw "The Skeleton Key" last Wednesday, which is 2x1 day at all the cinemas, so it only cost us about $2.50 each. Movies here come out a little later than in the states, I guess so that they can get subtitled. It was pretty scary, but not too believable.

I went to a little suburb of Guadalajara last week to their open-air market. It's famous for their ceramics and pottery and everything is very reasonably priced. Turns out I didn't buy anything except for a Coke, which was given to me in a bag! They like to reuse the glass bottles, so they pour it out into a bag and give you a straw. Here's a pic of my friend Nathan with his.
















I got a new Amistad partner since my first one moved to Ellensburg! This one is a girl who just graduated from college and is just kind of hanging around looking for a job in tourism. She's really nice and we're planning on going out dancing on Friday. It's nice to have a Mexican girl friend, since all the Mexicans I hang out with here are guys!

I went to a Baptist church on Sunday with some girls from school. I really liked it and there were a bunch of young people there. After church we all went out to lunch and then the guys challenged us girls to a competition in the arcade. It was a game where you had to punch this thing as hard as you can, so of course they won. Then we played a kind bowling that I think was magnetic. The pins had strings on them and the balls were only about softball sized. I had never seen that kind of thing in an arcade before.

Okay, here come the pictures.

Fancy farewell dinner.













Tequila harvester.














A toast. Yeah, I look stupid.














This was at the graveyard. Alex, she's not that scary!














These are our "scared" faces at the graveyard. Or maybe "scared stupid."














Musicians on a bus. I love these guys!














Lucha Libre wrestling.















I think that's enough for now. I don't want to overload your senses!
