I just got back from the Military museum, it was ok, except for the fact that they did not let us take pictures and more, they didn’t even allow me to take notes, and then they asked me where I was from, I told them “The Language Center” and they said ," NO, country" I said “Mexico and America, "Oh ok, NO pictures!!" and they followed us the whole time!!

My roommate Nathan is very similar to me, we both know how to have fun and of course we are focused on our goals. He's also very adventurous just like me and likes to try all the new things here, and we're both the same age, he'll turn 22 in July! He just started learning Arabic so I get to do the talking. Good for me though as I am here to practice. I know I have to work hard to improve tons. My new motto this year is if I'm not fluent in Arabic, then why am I doing something at this moment that’s not Arabic?!!" I don’t mean all the time but I'll definitely dedicate a lot of my free time to it!!

We went to the old town tonight to try to find a wedding to take pictures but didn’t find any so decided to take an early night to be ready to wake up at 7 am to go on a hike. More tomorrow!
