no mucho

not much has been going on the past couple of days, activity-wise. just been going to class and counting down the days until Saturday when i leave.

yesterday there was a procession of some kind. i don't know why and i didn't get to see it. i was going to go with my teacher, but she and i got to talking about a bunch of stuff and i thought, "oh, i can go later, it's no big deal." but when later came, i couldn't find it. a bunch of kids dressed up in typical indigenous clothing and danced in the procession. i saw a bunch of the kids after their part was over. they were cute, but i couldn't get any pictures. i'm disappointed i missed the procession and didn't get any pictures. but such is life.

today's activity was to walk to a ceramic studio. it's in this person's house. they have a BUNCH of stuff. lots of pots and cups and candlestick holders. it was ok, but not real informative.

i have taught my teachers how to play "Crazy 8s". i also taught Hugo how to play a couple of solitaire games and an easy version of Rummy. i played cards with Hugo after our break and with Gabi after our activity was over. it's fun to be able to just walk and talk as part of class. and to play cards and Scrabble as part of class. it really helps the time go by.

otherwise, there isn't much to say. i'm happy to be leaving on Saturday. i have finally decided that i could live here if i had a job. but to just hang out for a year in someone else's house, going to school everyday ... nope, thank you, but i'd rather not. i'm glad to have learned a few things while being here. later, maybe after i leave i will post about what all i've learned and my overall opinion on everything i've seen and experienced. right now i have to organize my trip to the airport on saturday. entonces, hasta luego...
