So in between our touristy adventures and teaching literacy in the rural villages, we are spending about a week in the city of Irapuato (about 4 hours away from Mexico City) to coordinate with the INEA (Instituto Nacional para la Educación de los Adultos/ National Institute of Adult Education) and receive training on how to teach literacy classes. So now we are staying in small apartments as we explore a little bit and live the real Mexican life! Plus work on all of our Spanish and internship credit reading and writing assignments for BYU...
Saw the Avengers in theaters for less than 2 American dollars!! That's what I like!
Got a ride from a member and his cute grandson to the the INEA office!
So Dominos here has this special Chimichurri sauce for pizza that is amazing! Neal told us about it.
Checking out the malls/ plazas...
I think it's funny every time I see the way they spell "donas."
We went to church on Sunday in Irapuato and the members were so welcoming and loving!
We can't get enough of the "Michoacana" ice cream shops around here!
"El Centro" of Irapuato is a fun, busy place with all kinds of yummy food and goods being sold! Also prime for people-watching!
Sunday was our good friend, Chelsi's birthday!!
We surprised her with her favorite dinner dishes from home, birthday cake and ice cream (which I had the honor of shoving into her face to live up to the Mexican tradition), and a PINATA (filled with plastic and paper "men" for her big 25!)
The INEABA government agency workers drove us out to the "ranchos" where we'll be doing our internship work to figure out what resources are available in each community before we assign ourselves to different ones. Also, we scored some delicious grilled "helotes"!
