Answer 1

Oh man, you are so lucky! I want to go there to study Spanish too.  What kind of program are you in?

1) There are vegetarians in Mexico too.  Just ask for algo vegetariana.  sin carne y sin queso.  I think your host family will respect that.

2) You will be in MEXICO!! You have all the chances in the world to meet local kids.  Just get out and start speaking!  They will probably be very interested in you.

3) Definitely FREAKING awesome!

4) There are a lot of elderly people there, hence the historical side.  And because of the festivals and the famous college hay muchos estudiantes y muchas touristas.  (mi novio es de Guanajuato)

5) He says that it is mostly dry in July.  But be prepared for rain too!

6) I bet you will learn a lot because you will be surrounded by it everyday, and you will have to use Spanish to LIVE!

7) There is a castle that gives tours.  There was a very important war that happened there.

~ If you go to Leon, which is very close to there, they have the best leather in all of Mexico, and there are many clubs.

Answer 2

You're going to feel like in a fary tale in europe. Guanajuato, the old part of guanajuato is veeery magic.  Yes, you can find food of your preference in most restaurants don't worry.

In summer it's usually warm, and sometimes at night it rains.

You will learn the basic spanish, try not to talk in english, you'll find many people who can speak english.

Pay for a tour! is very cheap. Remember, the independece of Mexico start manly in that city.
