not quite the end

Hey everyone. So before I close down this blog I want to go back and write down some memories that I haven't gotten around to writing about yet, many of them funny stories that I've thought of since returning.

But I wanted to say now thanks for all of you have read my blog while Ive been away, it really means a lot to me to know I have friends and family who care and are interested in what i'm doing! Seriously, it made me happy every time I found out that one of you had read my blog during the semester. So thanks! Love you all!

love, lex

quin bomb bomb bomba

I can't describe in words the joy I feel every time I hear word from my friends and family in Mérida. I also can't describe to joy I feel every time Oliver, my mom's new dog steals my dirty underwear and brings them to Brian, my mom's new husband. Welcome home Lex!

But since I already started a BOMBA!! theme, I want to share some bombas i've received on facebook from friends and family :)

Translation (won't be very good I'm going to do this super fast as I'm leaving in two minutes)

for you by Jaret (my cousin in Mérida)

handsome (beautiful) flower of pitaya

white flower of zaramuyo

wherever you go

my heart is yours

BOMBA!!

Yes...this is much prettier in Spanish. It just doesn't translate well. Well, and I'm not giving it any poetic love.

And this one is from mi querida amiga Nora:

BOMBA

del cielo callo un pañuelo bañado de mil coleres y en todos ellos veia a mi mesticita de mis amores... BOMBA

Life back in michigan

I talked to my family back in Mérida on the phone again today. They asked me what they should buy me for lunch tomorrow and it was precious and also made me want to cry. I told them puerco con frijol, which of course I still say wrong, it's frijol con puerco, or beans and pork. It's a traditional "tuesday" dish. I think Tuesday. Also, my papá told me they found this blog of mine (HI PAPÁ!!) and were putting some entries into free translation. They translated the entry about the rat. I wonder how that ended up in Spanish. Actually, I might just go try it myself. But in the mean time, here is a bomba!!! - a very Yucatecan form of poetry. I love bombas. They often have dirty / adult humor in them, but this one is innocently funny. So here is my shout out to my family and the Yucatan in which they live!

Me gusta el pan de progreso... 

jaja caiste?

de verdad:

Bomba!!

ayer al salir de misa

te vi muy sonriente

pero entre tu sonrisa

había un frijol en tu diente

(yesterday leaving from mass i saw you very smiley but in between your smile there was a bean in your tooth)

Love. Amor.

Hugs and Kisses. Abrazos, Besos, Loch.
