May 28th - A few of my favorite things

 Sorry that I have not updated for a few days. We are beginning the rainy season, and when it rains the internet does not work at our house. Today we had Spanish class and a presentation about the history of Mexico and Oaxaca. I will talk more about the history of Mexico and Oaxaca in a future post for those who are interested. For now I would like you to see a bit about our host house.

Our host mom is cute and always makes sure that we have a well presented meal. This is breakfast! Each day she makes fresh orange juice and gives us a fruit. (Today it was grapefruit.) She also gives us cereal, bread, yogurt, and sometimes tomales.

 This is my roommate Irene. We knew each other a little bit before coming to Oaxaca. She is a fun roommate and we have a very similar humor which makes for a great time and sometimes late nights.

 I left my essentials on the counter and came home to it in a pretty little basket. Our house has a maid that comes five times a week. She also folds the toilet paper end and makes sure that it stays tucked in with a sticker.

 This is fresh water for us to use while brushing our teeth.

 Irene bought honeycomb from the market. It was delicious! We decided that we could be bears and we would eat honecomb all day long and be happy.

 This is my room with Irene on my guest bed. We visit one another often.

This was posted in my room. They are so welcoming! Our host mom loves to do cute things like this.
