today & pics

click here for new pictures from my tour of Paseo de Santo Domingo yesterday.

today has been ... overwhelming, again. class involved frustration, crying, and a little bit of laughing, in that order. the director came around and inquired of classes and homestay situations and i requested to change teachers. i have mixed feelings about it, but don't really know what do otherwise.

lunch was pasta, alfredo (kind of), with onions, celery, and some kind of finely chopped green lettuce like stuff. i ate with Anna only. we sorta talked.

i'm now posting blogs and pictures and waiting for 3:15 to come. at that time, marlene and i will walk down to the school where the tour of Volcan de Pacaya will begin. hopefully it will be fun. if nothing else, i'll see live lava, if i don't collapse from the hike up the volcano before hand.

i bought a little loaf of bread (almost the perfect size for living in the States, which doesn't exist in the States, of course), a snack bag of Cheetos (puffs), and a package of about 10 oreo cookies for Q14, in preparation for eating on the bus since i won't get dinner otherwise. Q14 is only about $2 ... that's amazing.
