Pardon

Pardon, Pardon, Pardon (mean sorry or excuse me ...) for not updating sooner. It has been a busy few days getting acquainted with the city and our school. Tuesday we went to the Colon Theater, and today we went to A ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! I am having trouble downloading pictures so I am still navigating that. The students were very excited to practice their English ...and we were happy to have people that would let us practice our Spanish.

Our schedule as been like this so far:

7:30 wake up

8 leave for class

830ish get on subte (subway) and go about 5 stops

9 spanish class til 11ish , break

spanish class til 1

eat lunch

we have been getting back to our house anywhere from 3-6 and we all have spanish homework and classwork for our masters classes. So, we are busy.

I am enjoying the culture - unfortunately (or fortunately) we have found a bakery on the way to and from school:) and I've tried the chocolate churros which are VERY GOOD. Muy bien!

I took pictures of the school to show my teacher-friends at home - and a picture of the gym and music room and some of the art room for Robin, Debbie, and Heidi.

Great experience so far, glad I"m here...time is going by! This weekend I will navigate going to church and going to the market. We are going to a tengo show sometime soon and we are going to maybe take a few classes. Also, we found out that our school's activities that they were arranging for us ....or they arrange for all their students at their school...they were charging us more then they actual event so now we are planning our own stuff to do - which I'd prefer anyway.

Thanks for being patient with posting. xoxo Lynn

ps I am trying to work our skype so I'll let you know asap.
