Hola!
So, we had another fun weekend! While it is our last one here, we got to help a roommate celebrate her birthday! There is so much to tell, that I am just going to condense this weekend in one paragraph and show a lot pics instead! So, Friday was the last day our our hospitals we were assigned, because we had a slow in flow of patients. So we're being moved to a clinic, similar to University Medical Center urgent care in Las Vegas because they are suppose to have more patients. We will also have a teacher dedicated to us specifically to help us with phrases and to correctly put a sentence together. On Saturday, we returned to El Centro (Central Guadalajara) one last time to get tickets for a ballet show on Sunday at 6:00pm for my roommate Michelle's birthday. We also got to see free entertainment (one of which we were part of). That night, we had an early celebration for Michelle's birthday by having pastel (cake) with hot chocolate since our adviser Pam was leaving on Sunday. On Sunday, we all slept in and got some R and R. We said goodbye to Pam, and later went to ballet show. It was very interesting to me because I have never been to a ballet performance in Las Vegas, and I loved most of the classical music that accompanied most of the dancers! Afterwards, we went to a beautiful restaurant with an American Indian style called Santo Coyote. It reminded me so much of home, specifically Mt. Charleston.
While this only explains half of the fun we had this weekend, the pictures will tell more! Tomorrow we begin our last week of this course! It excites me as well as saddens me because there are so many people I have meet here that I loved being with! I will enjoy this last week to the fullest, and make sure to have a blast!! Here are pictures, and as always, Gracias!

My meal, Queso 3 Soapa (3 Cheese Soup).
A young woman came by for Michele to present her with a cake, candle, and necklace. With the candle, each person around the table holds it with their right hand and close to their to make a wish for the person on their birthday!
