We had two travel days which meant a over night sleep at a Hotel in Mazatlán and believe me - WE ALL NEEDED THAT BADLY!!
Travel day no. 2 went fine but we got stopped a lot by the military so they could check our passports and some of our bags. This way they made sure that we were not bringing any drugs in to green cities of Mexico. Because of these stops we were late for host pick up and by the time we arrived some of our families had been waiting for three hours.. I felt so bad for them!!
Yes - people get a bit weird after being trapped on a bus for 16 hours!! :D But it was very entertaining!
We did a parade that week. Walked for an hour and a half with our flags, international costumes and ofc. our lovely smiles:) It was fun and we made it into a good work out plus good promotion for our show we were having later that week!
Our show that week went really well and we had about 5000 people in the audience so that was amazing! I sometimes forget that I'm apart of a international show with extremely talented people from all over the world, live band, lights and sound:) It's such an amazing experience and I will never perform on a stage like this with 5000 people looking at me dancing!

We were honored enough to have dinner with the Mayor and his wife which meant that we all had to look pretty:) We had steak and salad and tortillas for dinner and OMG it was so good. I had not had steak for so long so my mouth was drooling when I saw it:) yummy!!!

After the dinner Mariana and her two friends Ileana and Eva took me out for a beer and instead of dancing all night long we went and had their famous hotdogs and they were SO GOOD!! It was so nice to have a girls night out and just sit and talk and enjoy each others company:) I miss that so much with the girls back home<3
Next day was host family day and I did the usually; slept in, did my laundry, spent time with the family and then Mariana, Ileana, Eva and me went to see Breaking Dawn Part II and I was so excited because it had been so long since I had been in the movies:)! The movie was really good and I'm so happy that I saw it with them, even though Nicole hated me for it! When I came home Andrea, Carolina and mom took me out to dinner and after that we went for a walk at the laguna/park. It was so nice to have a good conversation over a nice slow walk! I'm really going to miss this family and I hope one day I can come back and visit them and that they can visit me in Denmark! I'm still surprised of what our host families do for us and how much they let us become a part of their families for one week!! It still amazes me..

Before we left for our next city Hermosillo us girls had put together a little show for the boys - we call it boys appreciation because they have done a marvelous job in keeping up with all of us girls so we thought that they needed to be appreciated! Some of the girls did impressions of the boys and told them why they appreciated them!! enjoy the pictures:) it was hilarious!!!
