Buen Provecho (Day 6 of 27)
Bon appetit - September 6
Los alimentos y comidas cotidianos - Typical everyday foods and meals.
This is what I have been eating at the homestay, and at lunchtime at school.
If you like Mexican food in the States, then it is effortless to adapt to the food in Mexico. The common practice in Mexico is to serve the main meal of the day at mid-afternoon, whereas we US Americans, or Estadounidenses, serve our largest meal in the evening.

Desayuno sirve a las 8 en la mañana. Me voy a las 8:30 de la casa a la escuela para clase a las 9.
Breakfast isnserved at 8am. I leave at 8:40 to walk to school for 9am class.
