You May Be Surprised...

You may be surprised to hear that everyone here in Mexico seems to think that I am Mexican. Maybe it is because I wear pants most days & they don't see my incredibly white legs? :) No, but really...the people here have much lighter skin than I realized. I don't know if it is good or bad that people don't realize that I am an American when they see me. I like that I don't stick out like a sore thumb. However, I don't love that people speak Spanish to me super fast, thinking that I will immediately understand them. When I say "Hablo pequito Espanol" ("I speak very little Spanish") they look at me in surprise. I do enjoy seeing their shock when Lincoln (who they know is an American by looking at him) speaks Spanish fluently! :)
