  I spent Christmas and New Year’s Eve here in México with my host family. New Year’s is a bit different. They don’t have the same tradition we have in the US of the lovers’ kiss but everyone does share a hug.

  No, I am learning a lot and seeing a lot. Of course, it is hard at time to be away from family and friends, but it a very rich experience and totally worth it.

  In my community, it is pretty uncommon for people to have their own individual computers. There may be a 1 or 2 desktop computers in each school.

  I love Mexico and I am learning a lot about her people and traditions. I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to serve in the Peace Corps.

  Just like the US, it depends what part of Mexico you are in. Here in Huimilpan, it is dry and HOT.

I heard you all have been working on greetings in class recently and wanted to share some common Mexican greetings with you..

¿Qué tal? – What’s up
¿Qué onda? – What’s up
¡Qué milagro! – What a miracle! My old host family uses this one often when they haven’t seen me in a while.

Keep studying and I look forward to your questions about life in Mexico this school year.
