Tuesday we went to campus and I worked a lot on my paper. Andres came by to help me with the data bases some more, which was helpful. I went to the boxing class and then we headed home. Later that night, we went to see Hombre de Acero (Man of Steel), which was really good! We also tried something that is apparently very popular at the movies, palomitas enchiladas (popcorn with chile powder). It wasn't quite as spicy as you'd expect and it was a really interesting flavor. The concession worker was nice enough to let us try it since we weren't sure if we'd like it. That's good that he did that, because I didn't end up liking it enough to order a giant bucket of it. We ended up going with a mix of caramel and butter popcorn, which was delicious. We should definitely have that option back home! After the movie, we went in search of a sushi restaurant that we had seen, but ended up finding out that it was only open on the weekends, so we ended up one of our favorite places, the always delicious Taqueria Los Angeles, that has some amazing tacos with pineapple on them. Best $2 USD meal I'll ever have.
Wednesday we took the day off of campus and stayed in to work on our projects from home. It was a nice break and I made a lot of progress on my paper. We had a delicious lunch at a nearby place and bought some milk and cookies on our way home to have a movie snack while we watched Pixar's Up, (con subtitulos, claro que si). It was nice to have a slow day at home.
Thursday we picked up the pace a little bit and after we went to campus and worked on our projects, we went to the grocery store, Comercial Mexicano to pick up some breakfast food and for Miranda to investigate how much of the store is dedicated to fresh, healthy food for her project on obesity in Mexico. Then we finally got our sushi that we'd been craving and headed back to our apartment to get ready to meet Elanor and Kim and the rest of the international group and their Mexican friends in Cholula. And Frank came out to join us as well, which was extra fun to have a mix of internationals and Mexicans. It was really nice to all be together again; such a fun night!
