I have been in Puebla for a little more than 12 hours, and boy has it been great! The taxi dropped me off at the house (after a little bit of difficulty finding it). It was there that I was warmly greeted by my roommate Robin, my host family, and more of their family.
Everyone introduced themselves with un beso (a kiss) and their name. After all the introductions, I was given the tour of the house. It's so darlng! I love it. Robin and I are staying in a room that is separated from the rest of the house, similar to a guest house. After the grand tour, they asked if I would like to go out to the bars for a "bienvenidos a Puebla". I was a little tired from the traveling but said, "Why not?"
Robin, Pedro (the nephew of my host mom), his friends, and I went out to a bar called La Playa. It was definitely a new experience to be able to just walk into a bar and order a Corona haha. But it was great because we spent the night talking in Spanish and listening to the popular music here.
This morning Robin and I woke up to a delicious breakfast plate. It was tortilla chips with shredded chicken in a delicious sauce. Afterwards, we went on a walk to the university. It's only a 15 minute walk from our house... talk about lucky! Really the whole situation has me thinking that we are lucky. A friendly family, a beautiful house, a great cook as a mom, close to the university. Wow.
There's so much more I could tell, but I'll save it for later :) I'm off to unpack and get settled. Un beso de Puebla a todos!
