8/6/2010 - Obregon, MX: Spanish 101

It's my third day in Mexico, and I can already tell I'm going to get fat here.  My normal diet is on crack with all the cheap tacos and Mexican food around.  I've had some pretty amazing food here including Mexican style Sushi, bacon wrapped Mexican hot dogs smothered in cheese and guacamole, and finally more tacos than you can imagine.  Including Tacos de Cabeza which I assume is probably the worst part of a cow head.  Oh well, slathered in hot sauce and salsa, they're amazing.

I'm currently in La Cuidad de Obregon, where my Couchsurfing host Rodrigo Villa has been gracious enough to let us stay here an extra day.  Last night we met some of his friends and everybody helped BJ and I with our Spanish.  It's been great really trying to delve into the langue and put myself into something completely different.  Hopefully by the end of the trip I'll be bilingual.  I at least know some pretty awesome curse and slang words for now.  Score!

Next up is another night for learning, and then I'm headed for the 9 hour ride to Mazatlan.  It's probably not going to be so bad, as long as we get an early start and take plenty of stops, but who knows maybe in my next post I'll be bitching about that awfully long ride.  We'll see....
