A posting from Melissa...
So last night we finally arrived in Mexico city and it looked as though the sky melded into the lights of the city. I saw the North Star and noticed how the city kept going off into the distance. Mexico city looked as big as two states from the sky.
When I arrived at my family´s house last night, I realized, after talking in circles in Spanish with my "mother," that I had been assigned to a new family in Cuernavaca. I am glad to know the Spanish that I do because mi madre speaks complete Spanish. So at 1am last night, we were talking about where to find the bathroom and how to use the hot water.
The funniest part last night was when Zoila asked me if I wanted regular water or yellow water. I am sure I made the funniest face at that point. I asked if the water was potable and she assured me it was. I told Zoila that I would take the regular water and she then showed me the "yellow water." It took me a bit to realize that Zoila was talking about pineapple juice (piña or jugo) and not dirty water ;)
