Rain

It rained really really hard last evening, and we were at a restaurant when it started. It sort of had a plastic roof, so when it started raining we moved to a more sheltered table. We were just in time, too. Right when we moved it started raining right over the table we were just at. It had sort of let up a little by the time we were walking home,but we still got pretty wet. I hope it isn't raining like that when my grandparents come.

Sierra Gorda

A week ago we went to the Sierra Gorda, and it was really cool. First we went to this gigantic waterfall where the water was REALLY COLD, and we saw all these cool surreal structures that some random millionaire built, and you can actually go inside them. Here are some pictures:

this is. . . . a waterfall.


One of the surreal structures. We went up in the top.

Helicopter Thingy

I got this little helicopter thing the other day, the kind where you pull a string and it flies, and it also has little lights on it. It's not that great though. I only flew it a few times, and it's already cracked a little. I guess I almost got it stuck in a balcony of the Gran Hotel, but it's still a pretty cheap toy. I played a little stiring game with Pancho the cat this morning, where I drag a string around on the floor and Pancho pounces on it, and that was really fun. Oh, and I don't have school today because the teachers are having a conference.

Spraypaint Guy

Yesterday night we went to see a guy who makes really good paintings with spray paint. He makes them right there and people just come and watch him doing it. It's really cool how the pictures emerge on to the paper in less than five minutes. You can also buy them for five dollars, so we got two, one of mountains and a lake and a sunrise, and one of the Peña de Bernal at night. He uses a lot of cool methods to make details he can't do with spray paint, like crumpling up paper and rubbing it on the painting to make mountains and flicking white paint with a toothbrush to make stars, and he really does it well. Here are some videos:

School in Mexico

Ruth and I are in school now, and now that I'm used to all the new things, like lots of homework and the science teacher locking you out of the classroom if you're late, I'm starting to enjoy it. I haven't had much time to make blog entries, but I am trying to. We went to see a movie in Spanish called Pequeños invasores, and it was very funny. We are having lots of rain, and our house leaks in many places.

Parque Bicentenario again

Yesterday we went to Parque Bicentenario again, and this time the water park was open. here is a picture of Ruth and I going down one of the slides:The slide is very big, but you can't see in it for most of the time, so we only got a picture of this section.

Frog thingys and other thingys

There is some sort of competition going on where people make little frog things. Here are a few of my favourite ones:
