To Do List

     I can't believe that September is over. This month flew by. It seems like the time here goes by so much faster than it did in the states. I'm worried that the time is going to go by so fast that I won't be able to do everything that I want to do - which happens to be a lot.

Places I want to travel to:

1. Mazatlán: Mazatlán is a city on the Pacific coast. It is a tourist destination for many Mexicans as well as Americans. It is supposed to be absolutely beautiful and it is the closest resort to Torreón. Also, there is a hotel there which is called el Cid that has a Spanish theme! (I still love Spain more than anywhere else)

2. Guanajuato: Guanajuato is in central Mexico just north of Mexico City. There is a lot of history there and many things to see. The bus ride is about 10 hours from Torreón, but it is not very expensive. It is supposed to be a very pretty city with many plazas.

3. Mexico City: D.F. is the capital of Mexico and it is located in center of Mexico. There are a lot of museums, monuments, and shopping. I also want to see the Templo Mayor which was the spiritual temple of the Aztecs.

4. Zacatecas: Zacatecas is in the state directly south of Coahuila (where I am). It is another close place to visit. There is a historic downtown area where you can buy artesanias and also a mountain and cathedral in the city center which is supposed to be very interesting.

5. Yucatan: The peninsula has beautiful beaches and many historic cities that go back to ancient Mexico. Merida is one city in the Yucatan that I especially want to visit.

Things I want to do:

1. Go to a Santos game

2. See a rodeo

3. Go to a bullfight

4. Go to a concert (Ricardo Arjona is coming in November!)

5. Learn to cook Mexican food

6. Learn to dance

7. Speak SPANISH!!
