Santo Domingo!

So basically, the rest of the week after the elections on tuesday was very stressful with work, project, and housing/travel plans. Too much. but, we all made it through, and I headed out of Oaxaca back to Santo Domingo, Mexico City. Yay! Back to the best host family ever! Flavio and Luisa are my host parents, and I have three host siblings. Jose is 22, the oldest. He studied to be a optomotrist. Juan is 20, and married to Concha, with a 7 month year old baby named I don't remember right now, but he's absolutely adorable. And Tania is almost 15, and so is practicing the walze for her quincieañera. I'm not quite sure what's wrong, but she can't really walk very well, so she has to use a walker. But it's very cute and awesome to watch. My host uncle choreographed it, and 6 guys, her cousins, dance around her and she's the star in the middle. It looks like she has to work pretty hard to do it, but she does it very well. It's so wonderful to watch! The whole family is absolutely wonderful, and I think it'll be hard to get myself away to do my project. They want to take me places, etc (like maybe a soccer game?), and I just love to hang out and talk with them.
However, I have done some work by wondering around on the buses and talking with students in the university, and I just met my advisor today. He seems very cool, and is working on a masters in Human Rights through the liberation theory at the university.
I've also been hanging out with some cool people around the community. It's kinda weird, some of the girls that i'm hanging out with are my host mom's sisters. They're of a family of 8 kids. But it's a lot of fun, and i'm speaking spanish a lot more, which is good. However, I still definitely have lots of awkward moments. Ah well, así es la vida.
