Hola everyone! I made it to Guanajuato with no problems. Both flights were smooth and quick! I had to wait for over an hour for my host family to come to the airport, but ironically I met the director of the program here (he was on the same connecting plane from Phoenix) and then I spent some time talking to Donna, who studied here last year! Small world!!!
My host family if very nice. Vicky and Arturo are very easy to talk to and their home is very beautiful and spacious. I'll see if I can post some pictures by tomorrow, so you all can what my Mexican home away from home looks like. There are five other women staying at the house right now, but they'll all be leaving by the weekend and then my new housemate arrives on Friday.
Vicky is very excited to show me around Guanjuato tomorrow and I'm SO EXCITED to see everything. It's such a cute, quaint town with cobblestone streets. It reminds me of Pittsburgh, PA with all of the steep hills. You also have to drive through various tunnels to get in to the city, so that also reminded me of the Steele City.
Well, I'm awfully tired and have a lot of walking to do tomorrow, so I'm going to say "Buenas Noches" for now.
Abrazos (hugs),
Sarah

Hi my dear friend! So glad that all has gone well in the travel stage. I look forward to reading more and hopefully you will be able to post pictures too. We are praying for you, Gili, and Calvin during this time of change! Love and hugs to you... I agree with Carrie.... blonde in Mexico is like blonde in Camden:) Kitty
Blonde in Guanajuato is more normal than you would think! There are a lot of "extranjeros" - foreignors here studying and travelling. I'm really just part of the every day here. People don't blink until I speak Spanish and then they seem to be very grateful that I can communicate.
I'm pressed for time, but I'm going to try to post some pictures of the town that I took today. Take a look! This town is absolutely gorgeous. There's so much to see and to do.
Love you,
Sarah
