¡Una buena semana!

¡Hola!

I haven't had much access to computadoras this week so I don't have the ability to put up photos right now... anyway, I'll let you know a bit of what I've been up to...

Tuesday was 21 de Marzo here which is a celebration for Benito Juarez's birthday, so it was a public holiday and no classes. (you know what's funny!? I'm thinking in Spanish which makes it hard to write in English - good thing!) I went to Balnerio el Colarado which is a swimming pool near Queretaro with my friends from the cafe. It was super! We hung out at played ball and ate food which was ace. It's so cool that I've got friends here now - if you're reading... you guys rock!
After that I caught up with another friend and we had coffee and I saw a bit more of Queretaro. Man, this place is so interesting! There's much more variety than I ever expected - from rich to poor, beautiful to ugly, cultural to normal it's all here.

Yesterday I had class, then went to the cafe for our Universitarios lunch and hung out with the young people for a bit, then I went to a movie with some of the guys. We saw "Un Mundo Marvelloso" in Spanish which was cool. I understood most of it!

Anyways, I gotta go. My time here is coming to an end and I wish it was longer. I am going on a day trip with Justin and Lluvia on Saturday to debrief, then I leave on Sunday morning for Mexico then Puerto Escondido.

Please continue to pray for me, for safety, for my farewells and that God will continue to teach and guide me.

Adios para ahora!

Phil
