singing and singing

So Saturday I went to Isadora's parents place about a half hour from here. We took her moped and it was the craziest ride! All the cars were so close and there aren't really rules about lanes and passing and such, so people just go when they can...and we were right in the middle of it! it was fun and mom and dad, i promise i won't do it again =) We had a wonderful afternoon at her place. One thing I love about houses here, they are usually surrounded by a walled yard, so the gate is all locked up but the houses don't usually have any big locks on the doors or anything because they just lock the gate. We got the hammocks out and laid in them and swam a bit and Isa made some jewelry. She makes amazing stuff and she gave me a pair that are really beautiful. She and her ex-boyfriend made their way around Spain making and selling jewelry. Then her mom made tostadas...oh man. I was very bad at eating them and got messy, but they were delicious. and she made passion fruit ice thing...so yummy. they have a passion fruit plant there and it was loaded with fruits that are almost ripe. We left there and Isa dropped me off where I could catch the bus to Paul and Sharita's because they had a group come to sing at their place. I was supposed to take the #6 but i took a different one cause he said he was going to the same place--and then, long story short, i finally had to take a taxi, all of which cost me maybe $3 =) the singing was wonderful! we went up on the roof of their house (almost everyone has a place to sit on the roof) and sang for a long time and then ate tamales that Sergio made...So good! i talk about the food here way too much but i can't help it.
Yesterday I went to church. They have services at a hotel. It was nice to sing in yet another language...and it is funny what songs i associate with what languages too. After, we went and ate at a restaurant and laughed and talked a lot. It is different here than in Europe because in Europe when we had 10 people it was kind of a lot for most places and they thought we were a little odd for bringing so many. Here it is welcomed! They mash as many of us as possible in and you can sit there for hours and no one cares.
Last night me and the AIMers and Tyler, who is also an AIM guy but has been in Leon for a year already and is Rudy's cousin...well we all went to eat tacos and we had a lot of good laughs and those laughs continued when we went back to the girls' house...they are crazy, but so am I so it makes a good combination.
Alright, this is already too long probably but tomorrow I start my homestay with my family. I am excited to meet them!
