¿?¿? Chicharron ¿?¿?

So i thought that Papaya was bad....

What about Pig's Skin!?

I seriously feel like I'm going to throw up right now. Courtney, Scott, and I just ate what we think is Pig's skin.. but were not sure of the translation. I asked a second time for clarification and my host mom said that it was a type of meat from a Pig, but ill tell ya... there was no meat on that. It was all fat! There is one good thing about not being able to understand everything in Spanish. You can keep your food down and find out after you eat it what it was. I had no clue until i downed a bowl of the stuff, but poor Courtney.. she knew all along. It had one of the most interesting textures, i mean if you could imagine what a slug might feel like, or maybe more like a really soft tongue.. Nonetheless, i am so full i feel like bursting!

Besides from the "exotic" food my day hasn't been bad. Classes went well and right when they were finishing a really dark cloud rolled in and so Courtney and I decided we would start to run home because the rain had already started sprinkling. Well here in Mexico the rain sprinkles for maybe 30 seconds before it starts to pour rain. Obviously our house is a little too far away to make it in time but it felt like the rain had stopped. So we walked for like 10 and then Bam! There came the waterfall. Imagine two Americans running past as the old Mexican vendor selling flowers underneath his0 arch way to his house watching peers on giving a chuckle and smile at how funny we are. We were still about 4 min away from the house when it started pouring and we ran for it. It was actually a lot of fun to be honest. It was like one of those scenes from a movie where you get caught it the rain and run through it for fun. Like you're forced to be a child again, for a second. But now its time to get back to reality and start homework! ¿¡Que chido, no!?
