Oaxaca, Mexico
No photos : ( . We need to bring the camera with us more often.
Good: The teachers strike is over! That means the Zocalo is a lovely place to hang around again. It was so nice to go there in the evening for some sushi (special treat) and actually enjoy walking through it. We spent a lot of time debating who was and who wasn't a lesbian couple.
Bad: I (We) still miss Rinda. She has a number of application in so it does not make sense for her to return.
Surprising: Hannah Eller-Isaacs is the winner of our contest. Her major prize is.... a free bed (okay, not so free, she has to share it with Maya) every time she visits us! Plus the satisfaction of knowing how clever she is. Bella it is. We all had the name Bella on our respective lists-just not at the very top. Somehow seeing it on Hannah's suggested made it break through the finish line.
This is our last week with Spanish classes. The girls are very happy being in class without me (can you imagine that I take up too much space?!?!). So I will continue being alone with a teacher most of the time. It is much more intense, but I learn a lot. I'm less frustrated with the whole thing-who knows why. The girls love class without me because they mostly play games like taboo and pictionary. Very few lectures on grammar for that set. As for me, I am trying to master the 'objecto indirecto' and the 'objecto directo'. Think I have them down in English. Now to actually start using them in Spanish.

alrighty so, perhaps can i get a little sample of thai cooking upon my arrival to the bay area along with the free bed complete with a human blanket who might say hilarious things in her sleep?
