Llegué con seguridad a Guanajuato, Mexico. Fue una aventura para llegar. Esperé en muchas filas hoy en el aeropuerto, para mis aviónes, seguridad, aduana, y más. Salí la casa de mis padres a las ocho menos cuarto y llegué a mi habitación a las diez de la noche. Comí una ensalada en el aeropuerto de Houston que me costó $15.08. Fue cara pero fue sabrosa también. Fue dificil para tomar muchos fotos porque es la noche aquí pero yo tengo una foto del aeropuerto y la sala de migración y aduana.
- Arrived in Guanjuato & waited in lots of lines today
- I ate an expensive salad at the Houston Airport, but it was tasty!
(I have decided I am not translating everything so you've got to do some working and studying on your own, but I'll sum up the highlights in English.)
Encontré un hombre que está estudiando en Guanajuato como yo, pero él va a estudiar a la Universidad de Guanajuato por 4 semanas porque en el próximo semestre va a estudiar en Murcia, España por un semestre. Él quiere estudiar aquí para preparar por su semestre. Él es de Charleston, West Virginia y quiere estudiar negocios internacionales y saber español con fluencia. Él empezó estudiar español durante su año Junior y Senior de escuela secondaria. Durante escuela secondaria, él visitó el país de Peru por 2 o 3 semanas. Fue muy interesado a hablar con él.- I met a young man traveling from Charleston, West Virginia and he is going to be studying at the University of Guanajuato to prepare for a semester study-abroad trip this fall in Murcia, Spain. He's majoring in International Business with a minor in Spanish.
- I did not get a picture of him as I was afraid he would be offended.
¡Gracias a ustedes que son mis amigos por mi blog!
Mi hermano y yo antes de salimos cerca de Chicago.
Waiting/Esperando to check-in at O'Hare for 1 hr 20 min's.
Al aeropuerto de O'Hare
¡Mi ensalada cara, cuesta $15.08!
Arrival Area - Immigration & Customs behind the glassed-in area.
Mexican Immigration - Visting forms.
I had to show with my passport to enter Mexico & they stamped it!
Customs Area - La sala de Aduana
Customs Form - I had to declare what items I was carrying into the country.
Mainly that I wasn't carrying $10,000 or more dollars, that I was traveling with a laptop and that I'd be visiting for 38 days, which for some reasons sounds shorter than 5 weeks.
I was in the customs area in the Mexican airport for at least 45 minutes in line.
One of the kids was whining in Spanish that we had been waiting forever and if we were ever going to get out of line. Another boy kept asking his mother if we were really in Mexico. He saw his father a few minutes later and it was a joy to see him so excited to see his Dad.
Totally not fair! I am going to get highlights because I never took spanish?? I demand lots of emails now :) or when you get back you will be reading me your blog in ENGLISH!

You are really going to be jealous when I start posting the yummy food I have eaten the last couple days here. I promise to review any posts you are interested about in detail upon my return.
DeleteI guess I will just look at the pics in awe and wonder..
DeleteJason realizes that sometime between you getting back and you starting school we will need pretty much a whole day just to catch up.
