Today was interesting. My first flight left home at 5:30a.m.. Port Columbus is a great airport compared to the others (especially Houston where I had to walk a million miles with a 40 pound bag on my shoulder to the next terminal). I think it’s funny how great Columbus airport is compared to the cramped style of the Houston airport. On my first flight I met a nice man who was dropping off his kids to his parents for the week while he planned his wedding. On my flight from Houston to Guanajuato I met a man from Leon, which is the town next to Guanajuato. He told me about the city and what to expect. He basically told me Guanajuato was boring. Once I found someone who was in my program I was set. Jack is his name and he seems very friendly and fun. We met up with some other cool people and went to the bar in town. There, we got a lot of free food, which I was skeptical to try. I tried it anyway, and it was among the most amazing free bar appetizers I have ever had. This bar has a lot of pictures of old baseball teams. The second time I was in there today (yes, I was in there twice) the Indians were playing. I talked to a nice old Mexican man about the Indians for a while, where he informed me he was a Yankees fan. It seems there are a lot of Yankee’s fans here in Guanajuato. We came back after hanging out to have dinner with the CIEE program. I met a few more people, read the guidebook, took a shower, drank some bottled water, and now am sitting on my bed writing this script for my blog. That’s all that’s happened, and I’m super excited to see what else occurs.
