We met our host families yesterday, and how nice it was to see mi mama, Dora, again. I've never been surrounded by so many genuine and nice people as I have here in Cuernavaca, and it didn't take long for me to remember how special it is to be here. We are working hard in our Spanish language classes for three hours every morning. This afternoon we took a tour of the city, which included the Palacio de Cortez. The fortress was constructed by Cortez in the early 1500s atop an indigenous temple from which much of the building borrowed its stones. Today, it is a museum with pre and post colonial artifacts as well as some incredible murals by Diego Rivera.
