¡Hola a todos! So yesterday was my second day back at school (01/10/2012). I only had one class which was really nice! After class my friend Mary and I decided to bum around together for a little while. We wanted to get something to eat for lunch so we started to walk down the street past campus...every place we passed we were like "no it's too crowded" or "no it's too expensive" or "no that doesn't look good", so finally we ended up on the corner or epigmenio ave. and felipe angeles street. We looked across and there was a tiny tiny tiny little restaurant called simply "Queso Carne" or in English "Cheese Meat"...needless to say we knew this was the place we wanted to be. I mean it was obvious they served cheese and meat....and we both agreed we could eat some cheese and some meat! HAH! So we ordered. I ordered the combo plate which was 2 quesadillas with grilled onions, steak, chorizo, and cheese, and seasonings. Mary ordered the Hawaiian plate with 2 quesadillas with chicken, pineapple, bacon, cheese, and some seasonings!
OMG “cheese meat” is my new favorite hot spot!
For only $2 we both got 2 big quesadillas that were better than any quesadilla I’ve ever had in my life.
But the true test is coming.
Will we get sick?
As of right now it has been about 16 hours since I ate at “cheese meat” and no side effects yet…fingers crossed.
So let’s see yesterday for breakfast my papá cooked a “stir-fry” of potatoes, cactus leaves, and tomatoes, with a chile sauce.
We put it inside tortillas and boom…delicious!
I have decided though as much as I am going to eat tortillas while here…I’m probably never going to want to see another tortilla when I return to the states for at least 6 months or more.
I didn’t eat lunch here yesterday…for the first time may I say because I am a very frugal little old lady….so I don’t know what they ate…but I’m sure it was delicious as always.
After Mary and I went to eat lunch we returned to my house and I introduced her to my family and then we went and walked through the centro.
We ended up walking pretty far and found this really old church, which the name escapes me, but we took pictures and went inside and sat for a few minutes.
Then we walked back to the centro and walked through this museum that I believe was inside of a really old temple.
All the artwork was pretty much dedicated to Jesus and to the founding of México.
We spend about an hour walking around this museum and could have spent more time, but unfortunately they were closing.
Once we left the museum we decided to go get a crepe, since I had never had one before.
It was good, with nutella and strawberries on the inside! YUM!
However the crepe alone cost more than my two big quesadillas?
O well I deserved it for all the walking and water drinking I have been doing lately.
Speaking of walking, I walk back and forth everyday from campus which is almost uphill both ways for about 25-30 minutes.
Yesterday morning I woke up and my butt hurt soooo bad, and I thought “Why in the world so my butt hurt so bad?”
The only thing I can figure is that since I have been walking extensively uphill that my ole gluteus maximus is getting a nice workout…for sure at the end of this year I will have some nice tight buns!
Well I am getting ready to take a shower and head to school.
Classes today from 10-2:30.
Talk to you after! ¡Hasta luego!
