14 days until I leave for Guanajuato. I'm trying to balance getting ready for Guanajuato, moving out, and my finals here at OSU. No wonder time is flying by. The picture above was taken at Guanajuato/León (the airport that I'm flying into). At the top of the mountain in the background you can barely see the 65ft statue Monumento a Cristo Rey (Monument to Christ the King). It's on of the largest statues of Jesus in the world and sits atop Cerro del Cubilete, the 3000ft mountain in the background.
I was excited to hear from my mom that the space-saver vacuum bags work well. I was wondering how I was going to live with only two bags and a carry on for two months. That's not to mention what I buy down there and have to bring back. On another note, I am trying to figure out what I want to take to my host family as a gift that is representative of Ohio. Longaberger baskets are unique to Ohio, but in Mexico hand-made baskets are nothing. I'm going to take them some buckeyes from OSU but if anyone else has any ideas, please let me know.
Also, at the bottom of my blog, I have an RSS feed from Correo, the newspaper for the state of Guanajuato. I realize that the RSS feed is in Spanish, but the newspaper doesn't print any of their news in English. Only a few people reading my blog will be able to read it, but it's still a cool feature that I had to put in.
¡Estamos en contacto!
