yesteday the family came over to celebrate mothers day at he house.
the day before was the house party we had. this party started around 7 o'clock and didnt end until 5 am. Music, people and dancing filled the night. And i had my first encounter with something that really struck me odd.. here. unlike in the US the way you motion for someone to "come here" is by pointing you hand toward them and moving it up and down. whereas in the us we face our hand toward us and motion the direction we want them to come....maybe that was a little confusing so here is a visual.
I just thought it was wierd/confusing because these people that came to the party said "venga" and motioned what i thought was go away so i was very confused..
today i guess we are going to a pueblo. Not sure what we are doing yet but we will see!!!

i like the visuals very helpful, also that would be very confusing. Is it disrespectful to do it the American way? When do you come home? also when do you move to Fl? e-mail later.
