So...

Good morning citizens.

So. Since the last time I updated this little patch of Niki... not so much has happened. Well. A few things have happened.

First notable event is that I went to a wedding. A 'cousin' of mine got married. The ceremony was really pretty. Although the only words I really caught from the whole thing were 'pero, siempre dios es primera' which translates to 'but god always comes first'. I swear if I had a dollar for every time the priest said this I would be rich. But yeah. It was quite nice.

So yeah. For the next few days our house was full of family and we all basically just hung out and did nothing but listen to banda (shudders) and eat. Hahaha.

Uhh. Yeah. In the last week or two my family decided that it would be fun to go to random towns in the area for apparently no reason at all. First we went to Concordia. Which I didn't get to take my camera, so there aren't any photos. Then we went to Teacapan to buy some 'callos' (a rare and very tasty type of shrimp), but came back empty handed cause they were too expensive. Then the next day we went to El Quelite. A tiny little town, which has a reputation for awesome local cuisine. And yeah. The reputation is well deserved. Food was great. Its also A really pretty little town. I have lots of photos on flickr if you're interested.

Hahaha. So yeah. That night when I got back from El Quelite. At like 7pm. I had a message on the answering machine and an email from Jorge Medina telling me that I was to change houses that night. Beach my family was going away and I couldnt stay alone in the house. Plus is was about time to change anyway.

So. I had like an hour or two to get all my things together and make my suitcase. And well yeah. I was meant to be staying at Medina's house that particular night. Because my new family had just got back from a funeral. But he took me round there for introductions and they basically just said 'well you're here with all your things, what the hell. Just come and stay tonight.' So yeah. Thats the story of my changing houses.

In this new family I have a Mum (Mónica), a Dad (Marte), a brother (Jorge, 18), a sister (Mariana, 16, who is going on exchnage to Canada soon) and another sister (Andrea, 14). And well yeah. From what I can tell so far. They're awesome. I have't yet met my sisters because they're in Mexico City at the moment. But the whol family is going up for around ten days soon so I'll meet them there.

Nyeah. Turns out I have a pretty large family too. Many relatives in Mexico City on my mum's side. And many from a little town called San Ignacio, which we visited yesterday, on my father's side.

And yeah. This family travels a fair bit to see their family... Which I can so deal with.

So... yeah. Coolness. Hahaha. I just remembered how to say 'make my suitcase' properly in english. But I wont change it cause like. I just wont. You can all live with my bad, Spanish affected english.

Anyway. Until next time.
