While we aren´t allowed cameras these first few weeks, (to avoid looking like tourists to the people of Tlaxiaco) my family actually has a camera... so here´s a little peak at my life!
Me with Doña Pancha and Doña Mago. Doña Mago works in the pasteleria with my host family. She actually knows how to speak Mixteco and Spanish, and every once in a while she will teach me something in Mixteco, like numbers, but it is REALLY hard because all of the words sound really similar. Doña Pancha is a friend of several who work in the pasteleria, and on Sunday, the first night I was here, we all went to here house in a barrio next to Tlaxiaco to her birthday party. There were lots of people, lots of new foods, and lots of fun. When it was time for the cake they wanted me to sing Happy Birthday in English... so I did.
Me with my host family, still at Doña Pancha´s birthday party. (Minus Carlitos... I´m not sure where he was during this picture) Carlos, me, Sandra, and Emanual (wearing his crown from a
styrofoam cup!)
styrofoam cup!)
Doña Pancha, Doña Flor (Carlos´ Mom), Emanual, and Jacob, who also works at the pasteleria. Jacob taught me how to make the cakes!

How nice is is to see pictures! It appears that Emanual enjoys your company.
