Location, Location

You might be wondering where exactly I live here in Mexico... Well, I live in the city of Fresnillo which would be like Birmingham or Tallahassee, but not as big or luxurious. Mexico is divided into states just like the USA. The state that I live in is called Zacatecas, so that would be similar to the states of Alabama or Florida. The license plates here say Zacatecas, just like license plates in the USA have the different states on them. You can have a U.S. registered vehicle here though, too, so it's fun to see different U.S. plates here occasionally. :) Our ministry vans were bought and registered in Illinois so of course, they have Illinois plates instead of Zacatecas plates.

I live in "el centro" of Fresnillo, or the downtown area. There is a big plaza near our house with trees and benches. People like to go there to hang out, and there are also a lot of stores nearby the plaza.
