Creatures I have seen so far:
        
     a rat that ran into my room - my host mom later told me she killed it with her shoe

     stray dogs everywhere

     cows, bulls, and horses

     an incredibly large spider  -  I seemed to be the only one frightened by because it "eats mosquitos", but
     it was the size of my hand

     geckos



Food I have eaten so far:

     beans, rice, beans & rice mixed together, bean soup with rice

     chicken, beef, pork, pork rinds    

     cheese, cheese soup

     nacatamal

     oatmeal

     pineapple, banana, plantain, melon

  1. My favorite pic is the one of you and the guitar, second favorite would be the one with all the trainees.
