Hola de Cuernavaca, Mexico

Hello,

I arrived yesterday in Mexico City after waking up at 3AM in order to catch a flight since my original flight was cancelled due to snow (yes, snow) in Butte. I was hit on in the Mexico City airport (as Molly and Anna may enjoy hearing) and have gotten used to hearing ¨muy bonita.¨ Mexico City has over 9 million people speaking a foreign language so I immediately felt overwhelmed. I definitely was not in my small, hometown of Butte any longer.
I arrived in Cuernavaca, a town right outside of Mexico City, late last night and have an amazing host family. The town seems safe (well, safer than Mexico City), and I am able to walk to school each morning. The school I´m attending will be hard, but it will force me to learn Spanish. Tomorrow, the Gonzaga group is going on an excursion to a city with pyramids. I´ll update you more later.
