Mexico

San Luis Potosi, SLP, Mexico

Well, I was away for a week (June 26 - July 3rd), as I stated I would be in my last blog entry. I haven't been to my mom's origin/place of birth for over 5+ years. Along with that, I haven't seen my uncle for that long as well. He lives there with the aid of a caregiver, a really nice caregiver, who comes over daily and takes care of him til its time for her to go home to her family. I'm also glad a friend of his is living there with him, so he can take of him when his caregiver isn't around. Alas, I did cry when I saw my uncle and hugged him as well...it felt that long since I have seen him. So, where should I begin?

My mom seemed pretty excited for me to have come with her. She always wanted me to know certain places there and usually told me stories with them of her when she was a little girl. The first place we went to was Walmart lol (yes, they do have Walmarts there too!) and it seems I can never escape one of my old jobs lol. No, Walmart was not part of her childhood stories lol!

It also surprised me that there was a Hello Kitty store inside a Walmart aaaand sushi!! Took that sushi pic as proof to my boyfriend....and to torment him as well lol! It shocked me I got lots of comments about the Hello Kitty store/picture I took....I never cared for the darn girly character; I went with Pochaco all the time!



I believe the next day, my mom and I went to visit 2 different churches around the downtown area. I'm sorry that I cannot recall their names, but I can tell you that they were huge and quite beautiful and of course I took pictures of every adventure we went to, including churches.

First church.

2nd church.

The later, I believe that day, we visited an ice cream shop and a candy shop courtesy of a good friend of my moms with a car lol. I believe we also went to a grocery store to get some supplies for the next day. The next day came and we headed out quite early to catch a bus to go to another town over to see another church. At least I can say, those buses were very decent, comfortable and had bathrooms, unlike the ones in the towns lol. Once we got there, we went straight to the church to keep up with the bus schedule and not miss it, though we stopped by another church on our way back!

1st church.

 We got home safe and sound and I'm not quite sure if we went anywhere else that same day, but if we did we didn't take long in it. There were certain days my mom didn't feel well so we didn't go anywhere or that far. We did visit my moms extended family, I guess you can call it, meaning her aunt and her aunts children and grandchildren(?). During the weekend, I knew one day we didn't go anywhere since my mom wasn't feeling well, but on the other I believe, we did go to awesome park. Like I told my mom, they should have rides here in the U.S. parks for the kids.

The Morlaes Park.

My moms friend, Gloria, on a ride.

We also went to an HEB there after the park and it excited me so....my nerdyness coming out there lol! We went to the mall there and I felt like home, but it seemed soo much nicer than the ones around here or the U.S. mainly...very clean and expensive like. Don't get me wrong, it did have expensive stores and some I never heard of....guess the name of the mall "Luxury Fashion Mall: Plaza San Luis".

They also have recognizable stores and restaurants in it like Chili's, Haagen Das, Guess, Kfc and just to name a few. I was surprised they had a sushi restaurant in the mall that I decided to get some sushi while I was there and boy was it very yummeh lol!!

Chicken flavored :).

Well that was my trip I went missing...erm...on vacation to Mexico. After that, mom was hospitalized. She is doing much better now and I hope it stays this way for a good long while. After all of that as well, I had interviews and begin searching more for jobs again. One "interview" was for flight attendant, but got axed and the other I'm not quite sure in, but I hope I hear back from them. Got some rather unexpected news and now on a serious mission to get things settled and well fixed asap. *sighs* Life never seems to end with worries or issues. I as well wish I never had access to certain things, they make me upset and worry.
