Wednesday...

Well, not much to report right now other than things are still fantastic. I am loving my classes even though I feel like I am in the intermediate class by mistake... My teacher is very patient and my fellow students laugh a lot, either with me, or at me, of that I am not certain yet.

It was fantastically hot today and I am almost convinced they don't know what clouds are here. I haven't seen one since I arrived.

And even though I do love the school, I love, even more, coming home and hanging out with mi familia. They are amazing and welcoming and fun. This morning Marcela found me trying to blow dry my hair with not much success so she took over and straightened my hair for me. She loves to tell her friends that I am pretty like her and that I have pelo rubio (blonde hair) just like her. You will understand the humor once I post a picture of her (not blonde at all). Ahh, also, last night, after I had tea (tea includes plenty of food) with the two younger boys and was napping in my bed, Marcela came home and prepared a GIANT bowl of peaches and brought them to me in bed. There must have been 8 halves in the bowl. So I decided to wake up and go down and eat them with her and Jorge while they had their tea. While I was politely trying to figure out how to eat 4 whole peaches after a full meal 20 minutes prior, Jorge told me he had cooked a steak for me. I said that although I do enjoy carne asada, I could not possibly eat any more that night. Entonces, I can only assume you know what I had for breakfast this morning......

Oh, and regarding the feedback about Tatiana, while she is a good size, she is not a mutant turtle; only about the size of very large grapefruit.

I have a couple of new pictures to post but cannot seem to get them to load....will try again later.

p.s.
It is 11:30pm and all of the kids (10,14, 17) are out playing soccer in the street with their friends. Lots of shouting and laughing with the windows open. This is my kind of place.

Ciao!
