Esperanza

Desayuno y despues escuela. No me gusta la diferencia entre el imperfecto y el pasado. After school and lunch I went shopping in el centro with some other students. I was looking for some good cowboy boots, a hat, and a poncho. There were some good boots but I decided i would look for stuff now and buy it towards the end of my trip. After shopping we went to a taco resturant for dinner. I got a really tasy fajita style dish with corn torillas. After eating we took a cab to a reggae concert. At first we thought we were going to get robbed because the taxi driver was taking us through these dirt roads with rusted cars and trash everywhere. But, eventually we got to the concert. It was inside an old school gymnasium, which was decorated with murals about Mexican society and politics. The concert was really weird. I just never thought that Mexico had a big reggae scene, so it was kind of shocking to see all this Mexicans with dreadlocks listening to reggae music and smoking Mary Jane. The music was pretty good and was in Spanish, which seemed to give it a really relaxed rythym. The concert was pretty relaxed except for one song where everyone started going crazy and dancing around uncontrollably. I used the womens restroom in the concert because it had a big M on top of it, which clearly stood for Mujeres. But, thinking like a gringo, I thought it ment men. It was a little embarassing, especially the girls laughing when i came out, but I eventually got over it. We took a taxi back home at around 12:00.

Manana...la playa.
