A Day at the Restaurant and other topics

Hola!
    School went well today, and we got another picture of one of my maestros (teachers) again! In medical Spanish, we learned how to say commands to patients when we are assessing. Sientese (sit down) is one, as well as Tosa (cough). In La Clase de Cultura (culture class), we ate at a restaurant called La Chata to try to eat some of the food we learned about on Monday.  Very tasty! One of the things I love about Mexico is the ability to have a hearty home made Mexican dish! While it was in a restaurant rather than with our host family, it still is an experience I enjoy!
      I had forgotten to mention it was rainy yesterday throughout the day which was abnormal for us, because it had mainly rained at night so far during our stay. I didn't think to wear rain boots because it occurred as we were walking to school. I had ruined the shoes I was wearing, and some of us had wet feet from wearing flip flops. So today,I looked outside to see some clouds from the rain that occurred during the night, and thought I should definitely wear rain boots just in case. Instead we get warm weather and some sun. That's Murphy's law I guess. So, I have pictures from today which include a look around the university. I have been there a week and a half and realized I hadn't really explored the campus yet, so during our break I looked around. I also have one from the restaurant and on our way back to the University I saw an odd looking statue I thought was pretty neat! Hope you enjoy, and hasta manana!

 These are grammar cards our maestro uses when teaching us a new word. We thought it was interesting because they use them to teach some students English. If you noticed, underneath the English word, they have their own pronunciation for it (Spoon would sound like Spun with a Mexican accent).

 Some of our grammar class with our maestros (our Grammar teacher,Daniel and our Advisor from Nevada State College, Pam).

 In exploring the campus, I noticed this statue in the courtyard next to a plaque that was in Spanish. I don't know if I mentioned it, but at the university, you can see how they incorporate religion and how it is accepted in this country. This is very different from the U.S because we have kept religion to be only part of the family unit, unless it's a private school. I am not sure if UAG is a private school.

 This was the sign next to the statue in the above picture. I have my own interpretation of what it says, but I want to know: What do you think it says?

 Some letters written in rock I found I in the courtyard not to far from my classroom. I tried to read what it said from the ground, but it seems to be overgrown with grass. I am going to find a window tomorrow morning to try to read what it says.

 Another statue I found in the university. It did not have a plaque so I am not sure who this figure is. I have realized that all over Guadalajara, there are lots of statues of note worthy people who made a difference for the country as well as depicting important events!

 Another religious statue I found on the grounds of the campus.

 The restaurant where we ate at today as part of class.

The neat looking statue I saw on the way back to the University.This picture is somewhat tilted because of the angle I took it at in the bus.
