El Fin

“I’m leeeeavin, on a jet plane! Don’t know when I’ll be back again…” Haha, yes, it’s 2:39 am. I have to be awake at 4:30, and that  song-turned-super-cliche is stuck in my head.  This will be my last post, from Mexico at least.  I’ve come to find that I like this whole blog thing… I think I’m going to start a new category for life back home. I’m starting my SENIOR year in COLLEGE (yes, it freaks me out just as much as you), so there are lost of decisions to be made, fun to have, and news to report, and this is a pretty neat-o way to do it. So remember me here at wordpress.com!

But in wrapping up Mexico, I find myself a little lost for words.  This trip has been an amazing experience, and I am SO happy I was blessed to have it.  It has left me feeling more comfortable with and passionate about my Spanish. It has left me more confident in my own abilities to be out in this world and feeling at least a little older. It has left me with friends and memories I will absolutely never forget. At the moment, it has left me sad.

I had to say goodbye to Laura, one of my official travel buddy and one of my best CEPE friends last night. That’s when the tears first started. My Georgia crew, the crazy wonderful, seriously indescribable amigos, who probably made this whole trip for me, left this morning around 5:30. You better believe we didn’t waste a minute of their last night here on sleep.  It was all I could do not to crawl in one of their suitcases, haha… I might have asked if I could once or twice though.   Then, Rosa and I went out for one more day of shopping together at this awesome cultural market we’ve come to call the “hippie” market.  Lucky for me, we go to the same school, so no doubts I’ll see her again real soon, but still sad to leave this house and the little family of sisters she, Marianna, and I have become.  And speaking of, then there’s Marianna… because I’m leaving so early, I had to say my goodbye’s to her tonight before she went to bed.  Oh my. She sat with me while I ate my late night packing snack and we had our last little dinner table conversation.  We talked about everything from packing, to how much I’ve enjoyed my experience here, my friends, her friends, CEPE, the Spanish phrases that I know have become a habit (just wait, you’ll hear them…), and how much I’ve learned since I’ve been here. It’s funny how things come full circle. The first night, I sat at that table terrified. It was all I could do not to physically run out of room. Tonight, I sat there and didn’t want to ever leave. We started with tears of fear and I’m leaving with tears of sadness.

I’m still stuck in that bittersweet limbo land I wrote about a couple of post ago. Nobody feel like I’m not excited to get home! I definitely am. It’s just such a strange, sad feeling to know that something you have, some experience, some part of your life, will never be again. Dramatic, yes. But true, nonetheless.  Wheel of the world, I suppose.

So yes, it’s been a sad day. All my bags are packed. Goodbye’s have been said. All that’s left now is the little journey home, and the cab will be here in 2 hours. So i guess we could say the hardest part is over. I’m not going to pretend like I’m not going to have to adjust a little when I get back home, though. Like I said, it’s interesting how quicly people, places, and things become your familiar. I’ve got a little life here in Guadalajara – a routine, habits, etc. that might cross the border with me. So, just for the record, if I do something weird in the next couple of days, I apologize! But at this point, I really can’t wait to be home. Back to my family, my best friends, my Bently Boo and Sammy Dog, my bed, car, apartment, bathroom, and clean, Arkansas air.

But anyway, I suppose I should try to get at least a little sleep before I start the trek home. However, first, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all of you that have followed this blog over the past 5 weeks, left encouraging comments, sent encouraging and helpful emails, facebook messages, and most importantly, prayers. Thank you for listening to my ramblings about my experiences here that have meant so much to me. Overall, your interest and support have made me feel very loved and missed. I hope yall were at least a little  entertained .  Like I said,  I plan on keeping this little site going for a while, so please, check back from time to time! Ya never really know what I’m going to get into next… well, I don’t at least! I love and miss all of you! God bless, and I’ll see yall on the other side of the border!

Adios. 

Let’s Salsa!

By popular demand… Salsa pictures! We had our last class yesterday and Rosa brought the camera. Most of the class we started with has bailed (Rosa and I actually missed on Monday, too… shame shame, we know), so we were down to 2 guys,the instructor and about 7 girls. I tried to upload some video, but our connection is just way to slow here. So that will have to wait until I get home! Due to the embarrassing nature of the video, it probably shouldn’t be posted for all to see, anyway! haha, but here’s some photos!

Caleb and Kami

We needed more boys!

With our instructor, Raul!

Yep, I’m definitely going to try and find some salsa classes in central Arkansas… just to much fun to give up!

Defining Bittersweet

I’m leaving Guadalajara in 4 days.

I’ll be home in 4 days.

I think half of me is in denial, and the other half is counting the minutes. On one hand, I’m leaving friends, a new family, my school. It’s amazing how quickly people and things can become your familiar. We’re starting all our “lasts”… our last excursion, our last lunches with Marianna, our last day of classes, last shopping trips, last games of bowling, last night at Walstreet… all these lasts. It’s so sad to think about, but at the same time, it makes you really appreciate every minute. Guanajuato was amazing. I’m talking easier with Marianna than I ever thought would have been possible, and I love it. My crew and I are having a blast doing anything and everything, just because we know it’s the last time we’ll all ever hang out again… I actually won our last game of bowling tonight with a 125. I bowled a turkey and a 9 to finish out the game, lol. It was hilarious.

But, on the other hand, I don’t think 10 minutes went by tonight without somebody saying something they can’t wait to see, do, eat, or have. The givens: our families, friends, significant others. But also: our cars, beds, pets, radios, cell phones, and food. Oh my gosh, food. My friend Ross already has his first 5 American meals planned out. I’m sick again. AGAIN. I didn’t know you could catch this crap twice. So yeah, as bad as we want to stay, we want to get home too.

So, I’m just going to live up these next few days. Study hard, play hard, and sleep for 3 days when I get home! I’ve got my finals on Thursday, so please pray that they go smoothly and my classes wrap up well. Thursday night is just going to be a gigantic celebration, because most people start leaving on Friday and early Saturday, so please pray for everyone’s safety in that.

So yeah, it’s definitely going to be sad, but it’s not over yet!

And for those waiting for me back home… 4 weeks and 3 days down, 4 days to go!

So Much to Tell, So Little Time…

Apologies about the MIA status this past week! It’s been a crazy one, for sure, with oral presentations and the like. I’m happy to report that I did well on my midterms though! An 85% and a 98%! So yay for that!

Puerto Vallarta was unbelievable! One of the most carefree, fun, relaxing weekends I’ve had in a while. The resort was beautiful, with the coolest pool I’ve ever seen. The beach was of course gorgeous, and Vallarta is unique that it is in a bay with mountains, the scenery includes ocean and mountains. Hard to explain… so here’s pictures! I had a blast shooting around, of course. Ya’ll know me!

Happy little beach bums!

Mexican Sunset

I have more, but it takes a while to upload, so I suppose I’ll save a few for back home!

It was a great week as well! Just class and hanging out in the evenings. It seems like right when I’m getting used to this place, it’s going be time to leave. I guess that’s just the way it goes!

So, fast forward a bit, and we have the final excursion to… drumroll please… Guanajuato! It’s a beautiful little historic town, and I pulled a super college student move and just packed a backpack, my camera, and left last minute to go explore and take some pictures! The school was taking a tour thing, but this time I just wanted to go explore and take my time. So, I just hopped the bus with the school group, crashed in my girl friends’ hotel room, and went out to get myself lost while they were touring around. According to my buddies, I made the right move… I guess the tour wasn’t too exciting. But my trip was! And I think I got some good shots… here’s a preview!

Typical street scene

From my favorite spot!

Pajaro

Again, I have more! Around 130 more actually, haha… but I’ll spare you. It was a fun day! I met up with everybody and did some more shopping, then later that night, we went out for my friend Schley’s birthday, and had waaay to much fun! We got some food, sang some karaoke and went dancing… super fun! Just a couple more…

Me and my girlie Lacey!

Mi amigos Zack and b-day boy Schley

So, as you can see…. I love Mexico! It’s going to be so bittersweet to leave. It hit me today that this time next week, I’ll be back home! And trust me, home sounds awesome. However, I’m definitely going to miss this place! No sense in dwelling on it now… I’ll revisit these thoughts on my last post perhaps.

I’m sorry this was such a general post! I have so much to tell, with so little space and time. But hey, I gotta come home with at least a few stories, right? Can’t have you guys reading it all hear and spoiling my fun! Things to ask me about when I get home:

Luis the waiter, the beggar kids, and the music wars. Haha, good stuff!

Hope everything is still great back home!!! Just to let everyone know that has been praying with my family, my beautiful cousin Leslie is a new mommy to her triplets!!! Gus, Kate, and Claire were born last Wednesday at 8:02. Now, they were in a bit of a hurry, so the 3 little ones get to hang out in the hospital for a bit. But, it sounds like they’ve already jumped over some major hurdles, and God’s hand is so amazingly apparent in their little situation, it’s awesome. So please keep praying! For them, and the brand new mommy and daddy, too. They have been so strong and faithful through this entire season, but I’m sure they are crazy tired, no doubt. So a big huge gigantic Congratulations to them! Know that all of you are in our prayers.

Aight… I’m out for now! Ya’ll keep holdin down the home front, and start the countdown!!! I’ll be home in 6 days, and I just know yall can’t wait. haha, loves!!

The Good, The Bad, & The Awesome

So which would yall like first? How bout we get the bad out of the way… it’s short. So here goes:

THE BAD:

Carmen the housekeeper was fired and replaced today. SAD DAY. But, honestly, it wasn’t unwarranted. She didn’t show up for work on Monday or yesterday, never called, and apparently this isn’t the first time. Marianna’s aunt said that it is common among “domestic help” to not show on Mondays, since they get paid on Fridays. As sad as it is, with Marianna’s condition, she HAS to have someone reliable. She says she never could cook to begin with, but her sickness has made it almost impossible. When Carmen didn’t show on Monday, Marianna tried to cook us lunch while we were at salsa class. Bless her heart, she tried so hard, broke her blender, and ended up with the saltiest soup Rosa and I have ever tasted. I don’t think we’ve ever eaten salt water that fast before… if it wasn’t for the broccoli chunks in it, it probably would’ve gone down in one polite gulp. She’s been joking about it ever since. She did make us some shrimp in white wine, which was actually really good, so the meal was recovered! This new lady, Isabel, is nice… we don’t know her quite as well yet, but it’s okay. She cooked lunch today, and it was pretty good, but we will certainly miss Carmen’s lunches. Lord bless her wherever she is…

THE GOOD: My credit and debit cards are in and fully operable!!! I’ve tested them both. HUGE relief! In fact, I bought myself my souvenir of the trip. I bought… get ready for this… cowboy boots! Yaaay! In case you didn’t know, not only is Guadalajara/ Jalisco (the state) famous for inventing mariachi music and tequila, but also the Charro! Or Mexican Cowboy. I thought it was a pretty nifty souvenir! They’re made here, and super cute! Several other kiddos bought a pair, too… My friend Ross got a cobra skin pair, my other friend Schley bought some bull neck (??) boots. Mine are just straight leather. Pictures will come soon! Haha…

I also bought a new bag. A big one, with bright colors – determined NOT to be left on the bus. It’s very Mexican and I like it! Kell… prepare yourself… you’re gonna hate it, haha.

Also, I had my first test today! I think it went well. Ya never know for sure, but I’m pretty confident. I should get my grade back tomorrow! I’ll let ya’ll know how it goes. If you read this before 10:30 tomorrow morning, I have my midterm for my second class around then, so please say a prayer for me! We just never know what to expect from these professors. But after that comes….

THE AWESOME!!!: And I’m sure you can all guess what it is. I’M GOING TO PUERTO VALLARTA!!!! And I don’t think I’ve been this excited since my first trip to Disneyworld. Oh my goodness, it’s going to be amazing! There’s about 10 of us going down a day earlier than the big group, and we’ll be hopping on the bus around 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. We’re staying at the beautiful NH Krystal Resort, and it’s going to be 3.5 days of beaches, pools, awesome food, dancing, hanging, and maybe one or two other exciting little excursions that I’ll save blogging about until after I get back, which will be late Sunday evening. Please pray for everyone’s safety and responsible use of sunscreen and alcoholic beverages, por favor! Everyone has been looking forward to this excursion since we arrived, and I would hate for someone’s to be ruined by a visit to la hospital. If anyone has been and has some last minute advice to shoot me, please comment!!!

However… I have to say that I will miss being in the States for the glorious 4th of July. Daddy and PD, I’m sorry I’m missing out on the fireworks shopping this year. Bryan and Lisa, I’m sorry I’m not bringing in Daddy and PD to the tent to buy those previously mentioned fireworks. It’ll be my first July 4th without Momma’s homemade icecream, Daddy’s grilled something amazing, or my favorite chance to satisfy my inner pyro. I hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing, delicious, mosquito-free holiday celebrating the freedom we all enjoy so much! We’ll break into at least one rendition of God Bless the USA on the beach Friday, I promise!

Miss you all and love you more! Tune in for the Vallarta Fun Report on Monday!!! Woo hoo!

Oh The Places You’ll Go…

… And the things you will see! Or should I say I. Or we.

Not too much action to blog about today… except souvenir shopping in Tonala (just outside the city), which is just blocks and blocks of open market vendors selling everything from belts to vases to nail clippers to cow legs. No, don’t re-read, I said cow LEGS. I guess we really should eat more chicken… but anyway, I can’t talk too much about that because I may have picked up a few things for some of my most faithful readers out there, and well, nobody likes a spoiled surprise. I will say though, this is a racist country. I am blonde. I am very obviously NOT Mexican. And they would NOT barter with me! Rosa? Yes. Our little Japanese friend Casuma? Yes, even him. Me? Nope! Oh well… If I saw me, I probably try and get more money out of me too. Too bad I walked away from almost all of them. In the shopping world, I like to think that I am queen, and this queen will NEVER surrender. So we all just started ganging up on them . Hey, a queen has her army, no? I like to think I got some good deals…

So after shopping, I just went out to hang with my group of Georgia buddies a little bit. Rosa didn’t feel like going out, so I met up with my friends Taylor and Laura, and we ventured out to their house. Too bad our directions didn’t include a house number. HA! It was REALLY funny… us trying to figure out which house on this 5 or 6 block street it was. I’m happy to report that we made friends with a car washer guy (who asked if we had a car 3 times, even though we were very obviously not in a car), a really super sweet older gentleman that walked slower than turtles stampeding through peanut butter, but every time we lapped him (which was somewhere around 17) he still have us the same sweet wave and hola, and a group of neighbor people who were also nice, but not really much help to us. Guess which house it ended up being? The LAST one on the left. It was a nice little adventure. And we made it! Still don’t know the house number though…

So that’s really all the action today! Oh, and I’m feeling better by the way. Not completely 100&, but marked improvement, for the most part. Praise God! I was able to enjoy today. Thank you so much for all your prayers.

So, since there wasn’t too much to tell, I thought I would share with you some of the more random observations that I (and my friends here) have mentally noted:

1. EVERYTHING is 2 for 1 here. Drinks. Admission. Merchandise. Babies. Yes, at this point, I am convinced that if you have a baby in Guadalajara, it will pop out 2 for 1. It’s just how this universe operates.

2. They don’t like animals very much. They put dogs ON THE ROOF instead of backyards (mainly because a lot of them don’t have backyards). We came to a quaint little jewelry table, and found a CAT PAW necklace charm. If I come back with some rescued something, I apologize in advance. But I’m at least starting my own infomercial.

3. The McDonald’s, Burger Kings, and KFC’s here make those in America look like vending machines. They are huge, and I think at least 4 children a year are lost in their playground tunnels. They’re that big.

4. Click It or… Nada! They have no seatbelt or car seat laws in this country. We crammed 7 people in a taxi again today. What did Brittney Spears do wrong?? Nothing! She was probably just crossing the border from this land where it is completely acceptable to let your child roam around the car while you drive.

5 They put Chile powder on EVERYTHING! Enchiladas. Tacos. Fruit. Fruit Candy. Chocolate Candy. Pixie Styx. ALL contain chile.

And there are many, many more, but that will do for now! As usual, I hope everything back in the good ol’ USofA is great!! Talk to you all soon! Buenas noches.

The Full Experience

I am sick. 5 weeks here, it was bound to happen to my Gringo self. I think it’s part of the Mexican experience. A very very evil part. I’ll get over it, hopefully soon, but for now, I am sick. Thank goodness we planned on skipping class today anyway, because I was up at about 4 am this morning and there was no way I was making it. Please pray this sickness passes quickly… it’s very painful, weakening, and it’s been really hard to eat today. I’d hate for this to last much longer. this just hasn’t been my week. P.S. Mom, stop worrying, I’ll be fine.

But, in being the awesomely tough cookie and super trooper that I tend to be, still went to the zoo today, like we had planned. Despite being a crazy long bus ride to the outskirts of the city, we had a good time and got to see a part of the city we hadn’t really seen before. A less city, more traditional Mexican area of the city. The zoo was pretty good, too! Highlights: White tiger, feeding giraffes, and playing with baby monkeys! Here’s some pics:

So, that’s all for now I think. I’ll write more when I feel better… I’m so sorry these have been such negative posts! I’m still having fun, I promise. Just a rough couple of days. I’m off to sleep… Talk to yall again soon.

Life Lesson #1,345,038,529.4…

So basically? I left my brain in Arkansas. In the apartment, the car, Bentley’s cage… I don’t know, but after today I am positive that it’s not in my head, functioning properly because I’m just dumb. I’m talkin’ Loyd Christmas over here. Guess who left her little travel bag on the BUS… the MEXICAN CRAZY PEOPLE BUS… today? Me. And was my debit, credit, and school I.D. cards in it? You betcha. I won’t give you the whole crazy story because all that really matter is that I’m now stuck in Mexico, with seriously limited cash and canceled Vallarta plans. I’ve never felt more like a valley girl in my life… lost in the world without her plastic. I mean, nobody worry or anything, I have enough cash get along for now, and because my mother happens to also be the smartest woman in the world, I have an emergency Visa with my name on it making its way to Guadalajara. It has just been a big ol’ headache.

However… I’ll never forget me and our little housekeeper Carmen, heading out to try and track down the bus (which is super close to impossible, P.S.). She speaks NO English, I speak limited Spanish, both standing in the middle of the street trying to figure out what to do. She definitely came to my rescue, I felt like I had my very own little Mexican Dobby (yes, Harry Potter reference…). We jumped on this bus here, that bus there, enlisting the help of any bus person we came across… And I swear it’s amazing what comes out of your mouth when you absolutely have to get a point across. I think I said things I didn’t even know I could say. I think I played the best game of charades in my whole life. I think at some point I probably said something completely embarrassing. BUT… in the end, we all had common mission. Find the purse… save the plastic. Human communication just amazes me. It really does. So life lesson #1,345,038,529.4? ALWAYS check your bus seat, now matter how scary the bus driver is driving.

On the upside… (Life lesson 53,968,234: There’s always an upside.) I got to eat American food today and go bowling and walk around a new part of the city for a little while. So fun! I got last place in bowling, but I’m okay with that! In my heart I knew that if we were Wii bowling, I’d be killing them all. It’s a rare talent I have. Wii bowling and wiggling my ears.

I also had my second salsa class today. Still not enough boys, but it’s okay, the ones that are there get lots of practice. We learned some fun little moves today, and tomorrow, we get to go try them out! The school is having a little welcome party for everybody, and then we’re going with our salsa instructor (who’s also a CEPE professor) to this great club called Wallstreet that’s becoming quite popular amongst us gringos. And every Thursday is salsa night! It should be a good, slightly awkward but in a funny way, time! You know that scene in Along Came Polly where Ben Stiller takes over the dance floor and Salsa dances his way into Jennifer Aniston’s heart? Yeah… just wait until I get home.

Anyway, please say a little prayer for me and my friends here if you think about it. Not only the card fiasco, but if any of you know me very well you know I deal with a bit of back pain and let me just tell you that the beds here double as torcher devices. Also, the air here is a lot dirtier than we’re used to, and it’s really getting into a few of our heads. Oh, and several students will be traveling this weekend, so please ask for the Lord’s blessing in safe and easy travel as they head out. And lastly… join me in thanking Him for giving me such a wonderfully patient and forgiving momma and daddy, and a housekeeper so gracious and quick to help me in my time of need. Oh! and while you’re at it, my wonderful little roomie is traveling around Spain with quite a few UCA kiddos, and it’s getting to the end of their trip, where it can get pretty physically and emotionally taxing. I’m sure they would all appreciate it. Gracias, my prayer warriors! I’m off to get some shut eye… Miss you all, and love you more.

Dance, Dance!

Hi! Quick post today, because I have to wake up in about 4 hours… haha. Marianna is awesome, and in fulfilling her role as the best host mom ever tonight let us have several of our friends over. We just opened a bag of Doritos (they are spicier here, by the way), made a blender of margaritas, and sat around the dinner table, chatting away! They loved Marianna almost as much as we do. Apparently, we’re living in a pretty awesome house for Mexico too, because our friends said it was a lot bigger and nicer than the ones they are living in. They love their homes and families, too, but we definitely didn’t expect their reactions to the house. Basically, I’m sticking with my usual tradition of being spoiled! Here’s us at our little fiesta tonight… excuse the gross pony tail hair, por favor, but I thought you all might want to meet Marianna! Our amiga to the right is Laura.

Anyway… I had my first Salsa class today! We had SO much fun. I officially love salsa and if any guy out their is interested in being my partner when I get back in the States, I want to take more classes!! No, seriously… let me know! Our teacher was actually not very good… he went way to fast and didn’t break things down very well, but he was entertaining and we had a great time at least trying. Hopefully next class will be a little better. He kept making fun of how gringos never touch, and we’re super shy so we have to take our “gringo chip” out, and insert our “latino chip” so we could be more “sensual”. NOT sexual, sensual. Raul, the instructor, made it very clear that it’s not sexual harassment, it’s Salsa. (It was a joke… guess you probably had to be there…) Anyway, I don’t think any of us really tapped into our latino chips, but we had a great time spinning around everywhere anyway! We’re going out on Thursday I think to try our some of our new moves… it should be SERIOUSLY entertaining! Especially considering there were 5 guys in the class and about 35 girls, so half the girls had to be guys, and then those guy-girls had to practice being the girls so the girls then had to be guys. Needless to say, I think we were all more confused than Dennis Rodman by the end of it. But, I’m sure we’ll sort it out in the end! I’m going to crash now… better post coming soon, I promise. Weekend beach plans to Vallarta are in the works!!! Buenas noches mis amigos…

The Super Tourists

Yep, that’s what we were this weekend! Super tourists. The historical tour on Saturday, which I’ve already told you about. Then we had the ballet last night, which was a great time. It started out with all 6 of us cramming into one cab (I will never make another Mexican car joke again…) to go downtown to the historical Teatro de Degollado. It was beautiful and huge and our seats were great on the second balcony. The ballet was definitely entertaining. The cast as a whole wasn’t as strong as I thought it would be, but they had quite a few extremely talented dancers in the leads that really made the show. Very worth our $17 tickets! And look! I figured out how to upload pics! Here’s some from the ballet (and I’ve added a few to past entries):

The only crazy thing was that it rained while we were in the theater pretty hard, so when we got home, we had no electricity. Apparently a really common occurrence here in Mexico. It wouldn’t have been so bad except that we were here by ourselves, and we really needed the power to be back on by the morning so we could get ready and go to….

Tequila!! And it was! So today, we went to the Jose Cuervo factory in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. It was awesome! First we stopped in one of the fields and they demonstrated how they grew and harvested the Agave cactus (which takes like 7 YEARS to grow before they harvest it). They guy that was doing the demonstration had been planting and harvesting Agave for over 30 years, and is apparently super famous for it. They said that any media having to do with Tequila production, like on Discover Channel, he’s in it. Like the Marlboro Man of Tequila, haha. And we got to take picture with him! It was really cool to see the different stages of chopping the cactus down the the “pineapple” core, which is what they cook and get tequila from! I’ll just say that the process called for a machete… you know it’s gotta be cool. Here is me with tequila dude…

And some Tequila Country…

Then, on to the factory, where they took us around, told us the history of the Cuervo family, and showed us step by step how they make their tequila. And yes we got to taste every step. And let me just be kind and give you all some advice: If you are ever given the choice between undistilled tequila or rubbing alcohol with a hint of gasoline, take the alcohol and gas. It’ll go down easier. Haha, no we had a great time! And got to taste better, finished tequila, the best margaritas EVER, and haphazardly find Paris Hilton’s signature on one of the Reserve Barrels in the cellar (where they age the super special edition tequila that only produces 18,000 liters for the whole world). Family friends and special guest (i.e. Paris) get custom tastings and what not down there, and they all autograph the barrels. Oh! And you know Cholula hot sauce? We ate at the restaurant! Muy rico. It finished out an amazing first weekend here in Mexico!

Proof I was there:

Margaritas with Rosa!

They made us wear hairnet in the factory… Aren’t we cute?

In tomorrow’s episode… The first Salsa class!!! Nighty night…
