My mother

Apparently I didn´t give my darling mother a shoutout on my last blog entry, so here´s to you, mom:

the number one most common thing said while my mother was visiting the last week of february, was ´que guapa!´or ´your mom is hot!!´

Here she is sitting in a garden at our hotel in san cristobal. She was here for 5 lovely days, mostly spent just hanging out and eating food or walking places, and it was great to have her here and super relaxing and happy. She spoiled me by buying me a blender, bringing me a laptop, cadbury eggs, girl scout cookies from `the states`, and making a homemade spaghetti dinner which she fed to edwin´s entire family in a great display of mexican hospitality. She pretended she wasn´t even stressed out when 30 aunts, uncles and cousins, even the next door neighbor, who was insistant that she return for christmas as well, came over to try `authentic italian food`and asked her to `say a few words` about her stay in mexico. She also straightened my hair, adapted to cold water, didnt complain about anything even when she got sick, withstood the tuxtla heat, and received many presents including an amber bracelet to keep away the bad vibes.

I was so so so proud of her ability to speak and understand spanish, as well, you should see her!!

She was anticipated and welcomed by many, asked about often afterwards, but missed the most by me.

Thats her with edwins parents.

My mom is the best person I know and no blog could ever give her enough credit for everything she means to me.
