Quiero cuatro churros, por favor!

There were moments here and there that took me back to Mexico. When I was working, John Mayer's Daughters was playing in the background and reminded me of the car ride either to Zamora or Manzanillo. Then my family went out for dinner for to celebrate my sister's birthday. Although we were super full, I insisted that we go get some churros while we were downtown. The guy selling churros greeted me with "hola" and that got me so excited! I quickly responded him by saying "como estas" and I probably spoke 75% of Spanish that I knew with him. I was so hyper that moment, I ordered more churros than what I wanted… haha. I really miss talking in Spanish, although all I can say is super basic stuff. I don't know… I just miss being in Mexico, that's all.

Anyways, my sister's early birthday dinner was good! My sister wanted to go to the Chinese lobster restaurant that we used to go. The last time we went, which was about a couple of years ago - the food wasn't as good as it used to be. So we stopped going. We decided to go back because it was my sister who got to decide on where to eat. Thankfully the experience wasn't bad at all. Our stomaches were full, we were happy, and we event went for gelato down the street. It had some crazy weird flavours where I had to frown, but after a few trials and errors, we were able to choose two good flavours that we all enjoyed. My family doesn't really go downtown that much, so when we did go today, it felt like we were on a trip. It was a fun day of Mexican memories and family quality time!
