La Paz, Mexico

Hi,
This is Kathy, Mandy's mom. She called tonight and said that she doesn't have access to the internet this week so she asked me to update her blog. They are in La Paz and she's having a blast. She's enjoying the local cuisine and has had several trips to the beach. Her host Dad this week is Julio, a single man who has his mom living with him. Mandy is the only UWP castmate staying there. Julio and his mom speak no English and Mandy speaks no Spanish...but she says they are communicating just fine! Julio is a hairdresser and owns his own shop. He took Mandy to the shop yesterday and cut her hair shorter and in layers and she loves it. I've asked her to post a picture when she has access again. Tomorrow is a CI day...she will be helping to clean up graffiti in a local park. She's had extra vocal practice this week because she is singing in one of the small ensembles for the show this week. She'll be in La Paz until next Monday when they head to Cabo. That's all the news we got!! Thanks for keeping up with her.
