Mexico / The day before
I will be in Mexico in a little under 14 hours. I am feeling kind of surreal write now, not knowing what to expect and what will happen. On one hand i am excited and can't wait to spend my summer in another country, while on the other hand i am nervous and hope I acclimate to my environment quickly. I will be sure to post how my trip goes whenever i have access to a computer.
I called a hotel last night to make a reservation and had to use only Spanish. I had to tell the guy to slow down (despacito) and "could you repeat that please (repetirlo por favor)" numerous times. After a bit of confussion i was able to get the price of a room and he informed me i would have to call back today to make the reservation. I felt pretty stupid after the call and couldn't stop laughing at myself for the rest of the night.

Hey, you'll be fine. Have a great time! Hopefully they have some internet cafes or whatever to keep this up. Talk to you later.
