Fresh on the mind

---

Where in the US could you walk down the street, buy some rolls at the panaderia, and walk a little further and choose from pigs feet, cow tongue, testicles and liver at the carniceria?
just a thought.
Today I went to work with Noe, she is a teacher. What an experience let me tell you. Its an enormous (2000) girls school, they all wear little white dresses (its a collegio, or highschool). I went in three classes with her, and the girls were so excited to see me, most of them said they had not seen tourists before. They were really sweet, but I still felt bad that I couldnt communicate very well. They constantly asked if I had a boyfriend, how old I am (when I said 15 they all gasped because I{m so much taller than them), and if I like greenday or hillary duff. I didn{t understand a thing in the actual class, (uhoh for school next week) but I do feel encouraged by their enthusiasm. There was a Norwegian girl just starting there today, she looked mortified! I had Noe though, that was nice! apparently she also works at the school I will go to, it{s much smaller and is in the afternoon (yes!)
not much time, hope you{re all well! love mia
