Wow, it`s been a while

Sorry for the delay...I haven`t been on the computer as much the last few weeks. I`m doing well. My mom came this last Thurday to visit for about two weeks. It is nice to see her. I tried to take it easier on her the first few days, but she did get to see me play soccer (we won a small tournament) and went to a party with my family here. Yesterday, we went to the beach and today I took her to the lighthouse and climbed up to the top. The market will be the next thing to do.

The weekend before she came, I went with my friend Jose to meet his mom and grandparents in a small town. We took two buses about 4 hours to get to the town. All of the roads except the one main road are dirt and it seemed to be a rather poor area. Most everyone had a piece of farmland and that`s how they made a living. The houses were modest but welcoming. Everyone was nice to me and it was nice to see a different part of Mexico. Jose`s grandpa has alzheimer`s, but he liked to talk to me about different things. He even offered to give me a piece of land so that my family could move out there. It was very relaxing for a weekend although I don`t know if I could live there - not a lot going on.

That`s all for now. Take care.
