Spanglish

Last night we went to Spanglish - at a cool place near our apartment. It was really neat - almost like speed-dating, haha, but you rotate and speak spanish for five minutes and english for five minutes. Those working on their spanish get help and those working on their english get help. It was inspiring to see that people are in their same level of acquisition that I am - but of English.
I guess this is how my students feel at first - lost, confused, just sort of trying to communicate!!!
Anyway, today Ashley and I lead our tour of our area of Recolleta - we have planned to take them to the market, the cemetary, etc...

Tomorrow we have nothing planned which is amazing considering we have been so busy! So, I plan to work a lot on my masters stuff. :)

I hope you are all surviving GA's heat. It is winter here, so it is WAY different! love you
