August 26

Today was pretty uneventful. I got to try some cool new things though. I got try el flan. It tasted like vanilla pudding. But es muy ricoooo. Also I tried this drink thing. It’s a glass filled with some sort of crushed up plant. Tea leaves maybe? Looks like oregano. And you pour the pear flavored drink into it and drink it with a special metal straw. And everyone shares it. It’s really good. 
Oh also, I got to meet a lot of Pilar’s friends. So many names! But I’m trying to remember them all. And, my language is getting better already. When I don’t know what a word is, I ask. Coni has been so helpful. She’s gone around the house and labeled everything! Here, they don’t say tay-o-yas for towels, they say ty-az-as. Interesting. Coni said that tomorrow we are going to walk around town. I’m really excited for that because I’ve been inside all day. Well, I guess Pilar has too. Today has been a nice day to relax. I am starting to learn how things work here.
I talked to ben today and he said that he already has a lot of friends at school. That’s encouraging. I hope that they like me too. I should have asked him what his classes were like. Dang. Well, I guess I can ask tomorrow. Or, I’ll just find out on Monday.
I don’t know when my parents and Chabelli are going to come home. They broke down on the free way and I think they are staying in a hotel somewhere. I hope they are okay. Well, I am done for the day. More updates tomorrow. Carpe diem.
