So I{m now half way thru week 5 out of 12. Lots of the students here are only 6 weeks and will be leavin soon. I am really glad that I am stayin for the whole 12. I feel like I still have so much to learn before leaving. If I was leavin next week like alot of the others, i just don{t think i would feel satisfied.
We all went on this walking tour about the history and legends of Queretaro. It was awesome. He I am with all the ladies..... :)
This last weekend was a free weekend so me and a few friends took a taxi to a place called Oasis which was about an hour ride. And what do u think an hour long taxi ride would cost in the states?? Well ours (split between 4 people) was 300 pesos or a little less than 30 bucks. Super cheap!
Heres another photo of the waterpark. I was funny cuz its just like out in the middle of nowhere. And...ha....i bet u can guess who the gay guy is in this picture!
This is a photo of a soccer (fútbol) game that we went to watch. The mexican on the left is the host brother of Devin (the kid in the white tshirt) and he was playin in the game so we just were there to cheer him on. I have actually gone to 4 of his games...its cool, its just in this mini stadium. Something crazy always happens. At this game, the ref got attcked by an angry player who got a red card. It was hilarious.
However, with all the great and awesome things that have happened here in Mexico, there is also a downside. This pic is of me and Devin. He was prolly my closest friend while we were here. Hes only 18 but he was hilarious and we always had a good time. Unfortunately. he went out one night with some of the "heavier drinkers" and Devin had hardly drank alcohol before queretaro, but so ya, he went out and drank way too much. Nobody was there to slow him down or warn him about how much he was drinkin. If i was there, i know this wouldn{t have happened. But so anywayz....he ended up gettin alcohol poisoning, went to the hospital and was in a coma for like half the day and consquently...he was booted from the program and in now back in the states. It sucks cuz we hung out like all day everyday. He was the type who didn´t care what anyone thought about him. He would listen to his ipod and sing really loud in front of everyone. Ha, super funny. But ya...that was a really long explanation. Soooo.....anywayz....hope all is well with everyone. See you all in September. Love You. Chase

Chase,
Sounds like this is turning out to be the trip of a lifetime! It is so cool that you really get to immerse yourself in the culture downthere yet still have some gringos to hang out with! Maybe you can teach your nephew some espanol when you get back. (I apologize for my horribly sterotypical useage of spanish words but that is all I know :)
Hey Bro, Hows it goin?! Looks like your having fun. Hows the running goin? The D.K.J. will all be in Idaho August 20 and we'll be staying at Tam for ^%$^%$&^ months. You should come over!

Hi Chase
This is the first time I've commented on a blog!!!!!!!!
It looks more like a long vacation than school. Sorry about your friend. Some lessons in life come the hard way! Hope he is O.K. How's your Spanish? Are you dreamin' in it?
Our Chinese students are coming today at 5. Got to go to the store for them. Bye for now.
LOVE, Mom
