Yesterday some of my family members and I got up and left at 6 A.M. to go visit the pyramids of Teotihuacan. There are several but the main ones are called la pyramide del sol (the highest one) y le pyramide de la luna (the second highest). We climbed la pyramide del sol first. Personally, I thought it would have been bigger but I was satisfied that it was at least bigger than the one we visited last year. The picture on the right is of la pyramide del sol. We stayed there for about three or four hours. We got home at around 5 P.M. and I didn't do much for about three hours.
At about 8 P.M. my brother, aunt, and I decided to play a spiced up game of 'Guess Who.' Basically the rule was that the loser has to do a dare. Let's just say we decided to keep it in the kitchen. Some of the dares were as follows:
-eat a raw egg
-eat a spoon of onions
-eat a spoon of mayonnaise
-have a spoon of salt sit on your tongue for one minute
-eat a spoonfull of an unknown concoction (which was later told to be fruit loops, orange juice, milk, and hot sauce all mixed together)
-eat a spoon of vegatable oil, salt, sugar, onion, tomatoes, and coffee
Fortuantly, I was reigning champ and only had two dares. Because I don't drink soft drinks, I had to drink a small bottle of coke and I had to eat a spoon of vegetable oil, coffee, and ketchup.
The next day, Sunday, I did absolutly nothing until the afternoon. So I just hung out with my brother all day. At night we went to church and afterwards my cousins, aunt, brother, dad, and I went to National Treasure: Book of Secrets. But this time we saw the movie in English! I actually liked the movie and I really want to see the sequel. We got home at around 12:30 A.M., I watched t.v. for a while and eventually fell asleep.
The next day, Monday, was of course New Year's Eve. During the day I hung around at home, went to el centro (downtown), where I bought a new purse and wallet, and bought fireworks for that night. Now the night was definatly eventful. All of our family got together to make dinner. We ate at about 11 P.M. and I was tired so I took a nap. My brother woke me up at midnight and all of our family gave hugs to each other, like Christmas. We then all went out and lit the fireworks and broke pinatas with everyone in the neighborhood. After that, our family gathered at the dinner table to with my uncle a happy birthday and part his cakes. My brother and I were bored as hell so we started makeing things out of toothpicks and cut up radishes. I don't know how it began but we started to have a radish fight, yes a radish fight, and everyone started to join in. Eventually, we started throwing everything on the dinner table and had a huge food fight. Salsa, onions, radishes, cilantro, soda, and anything else that was in reach was thrown. By the time we were done I had salsa all in my hair and on my back. I took a shower but my back was buring like mad because of the salsa. But, I must say that that was probably the best New Year's I have ever had. After my shower I watched t.v. with my brother and then went to my room and watched A Walk to Remember until 5:30 A.M.. I don't think I can ever get sick of that movie.
I woke up at 10:38 this morning so I only got about five hours of sleep. Surprisingly I'm not tired. I packed all of my clothes and anything else a have to take home with me. Today is my last day here and I wish it wasn't. But I am glad to be going home to see everyone. I must say, I do miss my bed and Merrill (my cat)! Haha
