YAY!!! I have internet in my host family's home this week, so you all get more updates!
Today was an amazing first day in Tepic. I did a CI today doing something that I never thought I'd have the honor of doing. We were working with a local turtle conservation organization, and I got to dig baby turtles out of their nests, this helps more of the turtles survive the hatching process, and is an amazing experience. I think I have an idea of what doctors feel like now. I chose a nest that had over 50 baby turtles in it, so I got to bring them into their first sun, to touch them first, and to save some of them. I am so glad that I was able to do this, what a unique experience! How many people can say they helped to birth 50 sea turtles?
After that amazing CI experience we all went to a resort for an afternoon chilling at the pool, playing games, and having fun with students from a local technical college. I forgot my swimsuit today :( but I still had a great time playing the games and watching the antics in the pool.
Tonight I read my 4 yr old host sister her first Dr Seuss book, Fox In Socks. Its so much fun to trade words and watch as she listened to me reading in english, loving the illustrations of the book.
That's my day today, tomorrow I have CI at another orphanage, painting and cleaning. I'll update you soon!

Love the new hairdo! How neat that your host guy did it for you!
The turtles sound cool! We've seen many a turtle egg get laid during our trips to Australia, but never hung around long enough to see them hatch.
Keep up the blogging!
