We just wrapped up one of our best weeks yet! Last month I met an awesome friend, Abigail, who is from nearby Toluca, but now lives and works here in the city. She is an event planner at the Italian Embassy and scores all kinds of sweet perks that go along with job, like tickets to Fashion Week in Mexico City. So, my friend, Tricia, and I rushed home from school, put on Fashion Week-worthy dress and headed out. We had a blast and caught shows from two different Mexican designer. I ripped off a few photos from Abigail's Facebook page to share. Check 'em out!

The anticipation of a weekend at the beach was about to explode by the time we boarded a bus bound for Acapulco on Friday night. We were beach ready! We arrived in Acapulco with another couple, who we've met through the school, around midnight and took a cab to our nearby destination -- Pie de la Cuesta, which means "Foot of the hill." Pie de la Cuesta, which is said to be the location where author Gabriel Garcia Marquez took inspiration for "One Hundred Years of Solitude," is a quaint, sleepy village about 45 minutes from Acapulco, away from towering hotels and bustling nightlife. We relished every moment of our relaxing weekend with time under the sun, walks on the beach, horse back rides, massages, drinks at the swim-up bar and fresh sea food. It was paradise! Check out photos from our charming eco-resort and beach below.

It's time for me to hit the bed before a busy day at school tomorrow (which is actually a "pajama themed" day - yippee!). We'll post more soon about what we're up to this week, including some noticeable improvement with the Espanol (finally!).
A special shout out to our friends in Omaha, the Grahams, who just welcomed their first son Niles into the world this week. We're looking forward to a quick trip home to Omaha/Greenfield in a couple of weeks when we'll help Josh's mom and her fiancee Randy celebrate their wedding day. Can't wait!
Miss you all and, again, thanks for keeping up with what we've been up to!
Besos,
Olivia
