Este fin de semana
I wanted to update you on my most recent adventures.
Thursday night my roommates and I went to the MEGA. This is a mall/movie theatre, and as my roommate Sarah said, “If you ever get homesick for the U.S. just go to the MEGA”. It is very Americanized! Complete with a RadioShack and McDonalds. We went to see WALL-E. It was all in Spanish and I was excited that I understood it. However, I must admit that there is not much dialogue in the film, being that the movie is about robots. I highly recommend this to people of all ages ☺
On Friday night I went out with some friends from school who were having their last night in GTO. We went to an Italian restaurant and then to an Irish Pub.
Saturday was really relaxed. I went with my friend Claire to the Mummy Museum in GTO. This museum is very interesting, but also EXTREMELY creepy at the same time. Apparently lack of humidity and lack of oxygen in the mausoleum where the bodies were kept preserved them for hundreds of years. In Mexico a person’s family pays rent for the remains of their ancestors…they do not buy burial plots, instead they rent them out. So, the mummies in the museum are all bodies that could not be accounted for. They became property of the state, and because they were so amazingly well preserved, they were put in the Mummy museum. I have attached pictures ☺ Sorry if they are a little morbid ☺
After the museum Claire and I came back to my casa and watched the Season Finale of Greys Anatomy and also The Bachelorette on You Tube. I have not watched that much TV in a really long time! Brian enjoys lounge around Saturdays and now I see why. It was pretty awesome just hanging out.
I can’t believe that I have less than two weeks here. Time is flying by and I still have so much more to learn…especially because I can only speak Spanish in the present tense ☺ I may need some serious Spanish tutoring when I get back to the states!

Check out Mummy number 3. You can see his beard.
Here is a French Doctor. His clothes are still looking pretty good...probably because they were made in France :) Ha!
The world's smallest mummy. I zoomed in for this picture, but the baby is probably only 8 inches tall.

wow... I think I'm going to need you to take down the "mummy" pictures. Those are disturbing.
