¡Hola amigos!
I'm still having a most awesome time here in Queretaro! I'm starting to get a bit sad because I only have one more week here in Queretaro! I love it here and I wish I could stay longer! I had a dream the other night that I was talking to the main partner at work and he was like "Phil, you should stay longer, don't worry about coming back to work for a couple of weeks, stay in Mexico!" Unfortunately in the morning, I woke up!
I have just completed my first full week of Spanish classes and I am much more confident speaking Spanish now! I had a really good conversation with a couple of guys from the uni / prep school this afternoon - Bruno and ?... I was able to understand much more and be understood which was super exciting! Right now I working in the cafè alone (which is also new - usually I have someone else who speaks Spanish!) and a few of the regular guys are in. Mario is in the cafe at the moment. He's a champion. He's one of the local Christian guys who comes in regularly and brings in lots of friends. He goes to a different church but he's really enthusiastic and cool.
I saw the coolest, most random thing today on my way to the cafè. When cars were stopped at the traffic lights, two guys dressed as clowns, got up in front of the cars and started performing. One guy was on the shoulders of the other and the guy on top was juggling!! Then they walked past the cars and asked for donations. I think that's definitely one big step up from our window washers at the lights!
Hmmm, what else has been happening. I had such a cool day on Wednesday! I went with a few of the young people up to the Technical School (escula Technològica) and taught them to play Aussie Rules (well as least to kick the footy). We met Osvaldo and this other guy called Alvaro (never met him before!) there and they joined us. It was sooooo much fun! They picked it up really quickly so I think I might be drafting a few of them before long! Alvaro particularly was really good - he loved it! I've had fun telling people about Aussie Rules - it's very different to any other football!
I've made some really good friends here who I will be sad to leave! It's so cool to have friends around the world now! God has really blessed me with the cool people I have met here in the cafè and I will miss them heaps when I have to go! Will definitely make the most of the time I still have here!!
I'm planning to travel in my last week to Puerto Escondido and Mexico City before I return to Australia. Really, really wish that I had more time here!!
Love to all back home - miss you, but wish you were here to experience the rich culture and life in Mexico!
Phil
