Back to normal

Sorry I haven't been updating, but I had guests in my house for the past 3 weeks. First my friend Paola from Cancun, then my mom was here for 2 weeks, who just left today. I'm feeling a bit sad because I don't know when I'll get to see her again.

We were able to go to Miami, just like my mom wanted. We went with Paola and another friend of hers. We drove around South Beach and spent most of our day at the beach. At night, we went to a place called Bayside, where we walked around listening to live music while enjoying some cold mojitos.

For the most part, we just hung out at my house and went to shopping centers. She cooked some Mexican food for me like pollo con mole, tinga and chicharron en salsa verde, it was all so good! She also brought with her some tamales and queso panela.

This past Monday I took her to Leu Gardens and this weekend, we met up with my mother in law and her boyfriend to have dinner at PF Changs. I had a good time with my mom, I just wished I could have taken her to more places. Now it's time to go back to my regular routine and keep looking for a job.

This past week

Mike went to Ohio this past Monday and came back Friday. My friend from Mexico arrived on Tuesday, so I've been busy hanging out with her. We went to a Mexican restaurant on Wednesday to watch a soccer game. We walked around Downtown Disney on Wednesday. On Thursday, we went downtown to a club and danced the night away. On Friday, we went to visit a friend of hers and then shopping. Now Paola is spending the weekend in Tennessee with another friend of hers.

So that's where I've been. I'm sure the next 2 weeks will be busy as well. My mom gets here on Tuesday and Paola will still be here for another week... I'm so excited! I'm a little nervous though, because I don't really know how to entertain my mom for 2 whole weeks on a very low budget. She's never been to Miami, so maybe Paola, my mom and me can go there for a day or something, we'll see... I hope the hurricane that's heading this way doesn't actually hit us.

Miami

That's where I'll be spending my weekend along with 3 other friends. It's Candice's birthday tomorrow and she wanted to celebrate it in Miami. We'll be staying at the Deauville Beach Resort in Miami Beach. It's been raining a lot lately so I hope the rain doesn't ruin our weekend. I'm really excited about our mini road trip and totally girly birthday bash weekend. Have a good weekend!

What I left behind...

Pictures taken in Zamora, Michoacan; Cocula, Jalisco, and Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

(Update! now you can purchase my book from Blurb.com,with some of these photos and many others. Thanks for looking!)

Greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico!

I didn't have time to update before I left. Thank goodness I finished school ok. Then I packed and came to Mexico.

The wedding was a little dramatic, mostly problems with my cousins inlaws. I photographed what I could, I don't think I like photographing weddings, maybe because it was my cousins and I felt like I couldn'd enjoy it because I had to be taking photos.

After the wedding, I have been spending time with my parents. We went for a couple days to Cocula, a small town where my grandfather lives.

I have been eating all the food I had been craving, it's been great! For example, tortas ahogadas, flautas, quesadillas, tacos, sopes, etc...

The only bad thing has been is that from the moment I got off the plane, my sinuses have been horrible. It hurts everytime I breathe. The air pollution here is really bad and there has been lots of fires in a forest near by.

I went to a homeopathic doctor, he gave me "medicine" for 3 months. I hope it works, my family says he's a great doctor, that he even cures Lupus.

I still haven't taken all the photos I want for the book I want to self-publish. I think tomorrow I'll go downtown.

Ok, that's it for now, I think I'm ready to go home, even though I'll miss my family, my food, my country, I miss my hubby, my Lily and our daily routine, oh! and my clean air and ac!
