Ahhh!! I cannot believe that our time has come to an end in Guanajuato!! Tomorrow we leave bright and early!! Tonight we went to the school for a little going away party. There was salsa dancing lessons which were surprisingly really fun! We learned the basics and now I feel a little more comfortable with it. Last nigh we went to our favorite Bar-Why Not-it is a place where lots of students go to hang out and everyone signs the wall–sooo we left our mark! It was funny because the waiter there is sooo nice and good to us so we left him a secret message on the wall. It is just so weird to think about how today was my last day in Mexico. I do not know where the time has gone. We were talking to our host mom today about the things we liked the most and the least about Guanajuato. One thing that I still have a hard time about are the children who beg for money or try to sell chicle or are just so precious and have to sleep in the doorways of stores and restaurants because they have nowhere else to go.  I met a nina a week or two ago named Gabby, I think I wrote about her before–she asked me for ice cream and I bought her a chocolate ice cream cone…well recently this week I have seen her everywhere in the streets and I have watched her come into bars at night and ask for a glass of cold water and take it back to her group of other children—I have seen her go from bar to bar doing this at night in order to get something cool to drink. I had the opportunity to talk to her a few more times, but seeing her just breaks my heart. I have a really big suitcase and I really just want to put her in it and take her home with me. She is so precious and I am definitely going to remember her for the rest of my life and will continue to pray for her and thing about her.
