My first Mexican friend

So it´s reallllllly late. And I have to get up early to go to the park with the kids and Yazmin and Jenny Beth, but I´m going to post anyway. Tonight I went out with Yazmin´s sister Sonia, who´s 21. We went to her youth group (in Mexico youth groups are for anyone who is single) at the church and then at like 10:45 (sooo late) we went out to dinner. She took me downtown to this place called Elotes Alex. They serve this Mexican favorite called Elotes. It´s corn and butter and cream and lime juice and chile powder and cheese all mixed up in a cup. I´ve heard lots about it and according to Sonia, Alex´s is the best place to get it. It was amazing. VERY different, but very good. We got our cups to go and she took me on a tour of downtown. We parked the car and walked around the plaza, where everything is already decorated for Independence Day (Sep. 16), we went to these big fountains and there are all these huge statues. If you go to any website about Chihuahua, you will always see pictures of a big cathedral. Well...we went there, and it too was fantastic. We walked around for a long time and she told me all different things about the Mexican culture and about the holidays like el Dia de la Independencia, and Dia de los Muertos (the Mexican halloween). She told me all the things we would have to do together this semester, and all the things she´ll have to show me. I´m so excited. She´s like the sweetest girl ever and might I add quite possibly the prettiest human being I´ve ever seen. No lie...she is the most beautiful Hispanic person I´ve ever seen. Tonight she told me, "Talk with me." "About what?" "Anything....I like to talk with you about whatever you want. I love to talk. I also love to take pictures. Do you like to take pictures?" Oh boy...if only she knew. So...I´m pretty sure we´re gonna become really good friends, and I´m so excited. Mainly because she´s my age. And all her friends are my age. We´re going to go the movies tomorrow night...I can´t wait. :) Yay for new Mexican friends!!
