Le Fin de Semana 3

This past weekend, Dan came to visit. Yes, I was glad to see him.  Yes, we had a good time. 

Thursday night we went and ate with the lady who I am staying with.  She fed us spaghetti and bread and cheese and carne asade (chicken).  It was very good.  Dan told her like 20 times that he really liked it and now I´m eating cheese with every meal.  Thanks. :)

Friday Dan wandered around while I went to class.  I don´t know exactly what he did, but he seemed to enjoy himself.  We met up later and walked around and it rained so we ended up going to the movies to see Cars.  It was pretty good, but we are going to have to watch it again in English later.  I´m sure we missed most of the jokes.  On a side note, it is the general belief that most cartoons are funnier in Spanish.  My kids have always told me this, but i thought it was just cause they knew Spanish better.  However, they apparently use different jokes in Spanish.  Shrek and Shrek 2 are apparently way funnier in Spanish.

Saturday we went to the planetarium, but it was closed so we ended up at the children´s museum.  It had the cutest exhibit where small kids got to shop in a grocery store and choose and pay for their produce at the register.  It was really cute and I wanted a picture, but i was afraid that the parents would get freaked out by me taking a picture of their children.  Then we went to the archeology museum and walked to the fort of guadelupe.  As we are outside at the fort of Guadalupe, it starts to rain.  I, in all my wisdom, thought that it would stop soon, however it only started raining harder.  We left cause they were closing, then we ended up completely soaked going to the convention center at the bottom of the hill.  We waited out the rain for about 4 hours there. 

That night we went to eat at what turned out to be this really nice restaurant.  We paid about $40 for out meal, when usually a meal costs about $10 for two people.  It was very good.  Dan had some kind of stuffed chile with fruit compote and white sauce and pomogranate seeds on top.  I had mole poblano, the traditional dish of Puebla.  It was also excellent.

Ok, I´ll finish up Sunday later, gotta run to class now.
