That is a bizarre story about the military guys...Kinda weird that he was asking about the bag but didn't search it...maybe they were just normal dudes dressed in camo trying to mess with unsuspecting tourists?
And those hats are totally styling. You should wear it to C Street when you get home. :)

You forgot PwC!!!! PwC scored a 100 on the HRC equality index! HOLLERRR!!!!!!! All of the big 4 scored a 100 actually. I guess accounting isn't as conservative as we thought..... No wait, it definitely is.
You know, you take really good photos. Seriously, they're quie nifty.
You need to bring me one of those pine apples as a souvenir. Think you could fit that in your suitcase?
Hi Alex,
It is great to read all your stories. I am glad you're having a great time! I also wanted to thank you for your postcard!! It arrived at the university-- that was so nice of you!! Take good care of yourself, and I'm looking forward to read more of your stories (and see the pictures!!).

Where is the maggot story? did I miss it? My firecracker is entertaining to say the least, is that your blk/white photo? digital? when can I see more pics from your class? Dont forget us....Ms. A
Ok, so, while I am very excited that there were no maggots in my trash today, as far as I am aware anyway... I am still jealous that you are chillin/studying/working in Mexico while I am working in Trelease Hall everyday. :) Sounds like you are having a great experience! I heart your travel blogs. They are the best.
Damn, girl. You are busy! I'm glad you're experiencing so much though. I love the photos too, those are great. You have to do a lot of travelling, even if it means skipping classes. You ARE living in Mexico, after all. :) I hope I am out of the dog house now that i'm all caught up with your blog entries! :) Have fun, girl!
Estoy celosa! Alex, I really loved this post! Too bad you disappointed Edgar that night. Your classes sound overwhelming. Are you going crazy? How's your Spanish? Your salsa teacher sounds like an Ass.
what? you are studying the whole year? i thought it is only the fall semester?
anyway, i am jealous at your dancing and eating class. now when you return, you can cook me some real mexican food. yummm.
ahha you made it thats cool your getting around alex im glad you get to see where your roots came from we are from motterey. i finally got to read the journal and its beautiful to see your gettin in the flow again caint wait to see more of what you see love you...dad
Mexico = Cheap So can I just follow you every where? I promise this time not to get drunk, stumble in at 5am and jump on your bed. Oh and for sure you wont have to move me from the bathroom to (near) my bed via sheets.
Dear Alex,
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences this past week. I knew you would love it. As the famous folklore song titles my beautiful country, "MEXICO LINDO Y QUERIDO"!!! Yeah!! i am glad you are getting to go to the neighborhood restaurants (they are cheap and the food is good and homestyle, right??!). Last time in Monterrey, I had forgotten how much aguacate they serve you!!! YUM! Let me know if you try any sopes, flautas, huaraches or machaca... I am pretty sure you will love it... oh... and try pozole if you can find it, it is awesome! Do you have any pix on the "Cerro de la Silla"?
Thanks also for posting those interesting insights into machista norms and poverty. Kids learn from a young age the difficulties that life has in store for them, so at least it is better to see them working at Gigante or Comercial Mexicana than falling into the traps of crime that still grips Mexico. Regarding machismo, you will learn that in public spheres, women are still relegated to oblivion, but you will discover that Mexico is a country built by women and supported by them, even if men still prescribe to their antiquated notions of their supposed superiority over the "sexo bello". As Sandra Cisneros wrote in her book "Caramelo", "la mujer mexicana es puro coraje y pasion"!!
Keep enjoying your time there, I am sure you will continue to discover wonderful things there as well. Please keep posting these fascinating tales, since I will not be heading down until December!!
Un abrazo,
Alejandro
Viva la Mexico Dont drink the water!! Tell me how the coffee is (does it compare to Spain?). Maybe i can throw a $20 your way but I am saving for Japan. Since when did the kids become the world travlers? I miss you! I didnt see you the whole freakin summer. Be safe and show them what a chicago ass kicking is on a as needed basis.
So I'm studying abroad, again. This time my scene will be in Monterrey, Mexico and I will be studying at the TEC there from August through December '06. I will be using this blog to record my events and let you all in on what I'm up to. Some things I will write about include my day to day and my journies to other countries.
I hope that I get to hear from all of you, whether it is a comment about a bad photo or a message about something interesting I should try. In advance, thank you for reading. ... full info
