The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

Sleepless nights

It is currently HAILING. Huge, huge balls of hail and really hard. It had been not under 90 degrees the last few days and yesterday evening it was really windy. It just started to downpour, which is not as bad since it is not as cold anymore. The girls were playing in it like we used to play in snow back when we were kids. Even Mari Cruz and Angelica were excited about it. It is nice though from the swealtering heat we were having. This week was a doozer, and flew by. Last Saturday Casey and I went to Morelia for a couple days and then Guadalajara. In Morelia we went to an orchid museum and saw hundreds of different types and Guadalajara has 4 million people or more there. It was interesting to say the least. When we got back on Tuesday, I cleaned my room and when my roommate came home, her stomach hurt-a lot. After she talked to her family because she also found out her Grandma died, we went to the Hospital. First-it was the wrong hospital, the taxi driver was apparently retarded, and it was a public hospital. She had her appendix taken out late that night. Casey stayed with her to do the translating and only one person is allowed with her at a time. They also have few nursing staff, so when Becca needed to go to the bathroom, we carried her iv bag-or when she ate-we held her tray and helped her eat. She was a trooper. I stayed with her for a good portion of Wens and again all that night. I was completely sleep deprived. Friday was rough by the time I made it there. Today Alex, Coleman, Casey and I went to Embajadores. Its a market place, that is very hard to explain. The clothing section is like goodwill on steriods and theres food, veggies, movies, makeup-pretty much everything you can image. After that we made some guacamole and went home...and then the storm happened. Ps. Happy Mothers Day
