Yesterday I spent the whole day with my aunt! My day began when I got up around 6:00 a.m and had to be ready to head out to the salon my aunt works at by 6:30 a.m. I am staying in Bayamón, and the salon is located in Guaynabo. Therefore the drive was about an hour long with morning traffic.
We made it to the salon.
I sat and listened to the hilarious conversations between my aunt, a coworker of hers and their two clients. My aunt then asked if I wanted my hair blow dried and I of course said yes.
She will most likely be doing my highlights this summer and I can continue to get gel polish on my hands and toes at her salon. When it was time to go we stopped for gas and then headed to Plaza Las Americas which is the biggest mall in the Caribbean. This mall is full of many high end brand stores, but also great local brand stores that are sometimes just as expensive as the high end stores. This mall is where the "Abercrombie and Fitch" that I will be working at all summer long is located . I visited yesterday, met a new coworker as well as one of my three new managers. I will begin work within the next two weeks!
After my aunt accompanied me to my job we went to go grab some food on the top floor of the mall. 
We got to the top of the stairs looked around and asked each other "
¿Qué quieres comer?" which means "What do you want to eat?" We contemplated between comida criolla from La Fonda (which consist mainly of traditional Puerto Rican foods), Sbarro Pizza, and China Emperial. La Fonda was still serving breakfast, but were about switch over to their lunch menu. We were going to wait for them to put out their lunch foods, but decided that the deal at China Emperial sounded the best. The deal included "Tostones, Petuga rellena de jamón y queso, y una soda" (fried plantains, chicken breast filled with ham and cheese, and a soda). Here I once again encountered Chinese people who speak Puerto Rican Spanish. My aunt and I sat down and talked while we ate.
Once we were done we headed back to the house. I unpacked my luggage completely by setting out all my perfumes and toiletries and by hanging up my clothes, and laying out my shoes.
(What's clean is mine. This is where I am staying)
Later my aunt and I changed into gym clothes, stopped to buy my aunt a phone, and headed back to her salon for another client that she had. I actually had a conversation with this client after I pointed out to my aunt that the client's sandals were designed by Tory Burch. I had told my aunt about the brand earlier in the day. The client told me she lived in Boston for about 5 years, and then explained that she graduated from BU in 2006. After leaving the salon my aunt and I headed to my cousin's gym class that he teaches. The class was about an hour long and such a great work out. 
After the class my aunt and I headed back home. My cousin was already home, and we all ate left over pasta with alfredo sauce and chicken while we sat on the floor and watched an episode of "Person of Interest" in spanish. The microwave all of a sudden started turning on by itself and when we went to warm up the pasta we had to leave the room for precaution. Then to disconnect the microwave we had to move the fridge which caused the fridge to be crooked! After this I showered and headed to bed. This morning I woke up to no one in the house and I texted my cousin "Where are you?..." He then explained that him and my aunt went grocery shopping. I got up, washed my face and they were back. My cousin cooked these omelet wraps that he told me to smear cream cheese on the inside of before he filled them with scrambled eggs and wrapped them up. He made hash brown as well, but sadly dropped almost the whole plate of them on the floor. However the omelet wraps were bomb (in a good way) and he made coffee as well of course.
This morning I got ready and waited to see what the day was going to bring me. I hoped something exciting because my cousin finished his finals (it was exciting)! I'll tell you all about it in my next post! Talk to you soon!
