Day 33 (7/4/11)

It’s Independence Day! For America that is. Here in Mexico there is no celebration…unless if you’re an estadounidense (person from US) like we are. And celebrate we did. We had burgers, hot dogs, cupcakes with American flags, and apple pie. Later today we went to a movie theater called CinépolisVIP which had recliners in the theater and waiters to bring you food. Today was a fun day.
Last night we played cards until 2am, so today was not a good day to wake up early. Nevertheless, I’ve gotten used to waking up around 9:30 so that’s when I woke up. I drank coffee for the first time in quite a while today and I had quite a bit of energy after that. Once lunch rolled around we had a wonderful 4th of July feast in true American style. Check out the picture and you’ll see what I mean.


Following this feast we played Dork yet again, and this time for about 3 hours. Earlier we had decided to go see the new Transformers movie so we had to stop playing Dork around 6:40pm to leave for the movie theater. The movie theater that we went to is called Cinépolis, but Steve wanted us to experience their top of the line CinépolisVIP version which is shown in pictures below. As you can see, this movie theater is for the wealthier people in Mexico as it includes recliners and waiters who will take your order while you’re in the movie.





After the movie was over (it wasn’t awesome, but it was ok) we went back to the Carpenter’s house, but in a more scenic route than what we came. Steve wanted to take us on a very narrow and steep road so we could see what it’s like. On many occasions I thought we were going to hit something on the side of us, but Steve maneuvered quite well all the way down the hill without any problems. We got back to the house around 11pm and there wasn’t going to be any card playing tonight. Everyone was pretty tired and ready for bed. Before we headed up to bed though we planned out the English classes that are going on tomorrow. I was glad to be done with planning because I was pretty tired as well. Goodnight America! Happy birthday!
