Adventures with Karina


This weekend I finally had the experience of leaving campus for the weekend with someone other than my Grandparents. I was able to leave with Karina Pastor Castillo. It was SO fun.

I ate many delicious things.

I felt like I was playing with Karina again, because we enjoyed our eating SO much. :)

Saturday we went to Six Flags with Lizelot(I have NO idea how to spell her name), Geraldo, Arturo, Chucho Macoy and Chuchote. I bet you didn’t know there was a Six Flags in Mexico City. I went on Superman, and two different Batman rollercoasters, developed a fear of clowns, one called Medusa…I’m sure the rides at Six Flags in the States are better, but I still really enjoyed it.

I also got to go on a fantastic adventure called the Metro. I felt like I was in a movie. Everyone was running. It was awesome. And then more than half the people inside are standing up holding on to a pole wherever you can and you have about half a centimeter of bubble space. Then when it comes to a stop, you force your way through people and jump out the door like a superhero, or like the train in Anastasia or something.

Saturday night on the way home from Six Flags we stopped at a Taco Shop because Karina insisted that I had to try something. We got up there and she asked for a Gringa and the man behind the “counter” immediately gave me a funny looked. I couldn’t help but laugh, but it was a really yummy taco.

Sunday we went to church at 1:00, giving lots of time in the morning to eat about 7 bowls of cereal. I realized something though, and it must be the same in all big families. It doesn’t matter how late church starts, or how early you get up in the morning, you are always RUNNING out the door.
I played the Piano in Sacrament Meeting. Very Scary. I sightread two of the hymns I played.
Sorry. I have to leave this one unfinished. Soon enough, I will not have a time limit on Email.
ONE WEEK FROM TOMORROW!

  2. Hi,

    I wonder if its possible to make contact with you by email/facebook. It seems that you went to Centro Escolar Benemerito de las Americas and you may be able to help me to find someone.

    I am from Mexico but live in Norway now. I had a friend who went to study there some years ago but i never heard from here again. A Mormon friend here in Norway found the school and the address with the old adress she gave me ones. I am sure its the right school. I can't find the official school's internet page and i am not sure how easy would be to send a letter directly to them and ask for the ex- student.

    She was my best friend when i was 15 ( that would be 14 years ago....) but if you could give me the name of a person i could write a letter or send an email maybe the letter/ email i send wont end up in the trash can...

    i can see you are not there anymore but i am really hoping you can help me with this.

    Thanks in advance,
