Huevos, arroz, y chocolate puro...

Pues, yo completo mi primero semana! So, I have finished my first week!! It has been quite an experience. So far, my diet has pretty much consisted of eggs (huevos) arroz (arroz) and of course beans and tortillas...its been pretty awsome. NOt much has changed in the respect that my day revolves around food! I don´t really miss much of American food yet, but maybe after week 2? I´ll let you know.

My spanish is tolerable. I can get my point across in a loopy insane sort of way. It only makes sense in my head, and eventually my listener understands. However, i am pretty sure i am getting a lot of smiles and nods which hopefully means that I can actually communicate, but its hard to tell. My grammer is awful. I can not do it in English, let alone Spanish!!! I am having a good time. Learning a language is not easy. Anyone who says differently can meet me somewhere and explain. Everyday I want to trade my brain in for a new one. One that is able to understand all languages all over the world. But for now, I will take the hard way and just keep doing my home work (mi Tarea).

I have now met a teacher from Cali (Nick), a couple from seattle (Katie and Jeff), a couple from Ohio (Margot and Will), a guy who is a gringo but teaching in Mexico (Lewis). It has been awesome. It still shocks me to walk down the street and see other gringos! I love it. Jeff, Katie, Nick, and Lewis are all students with us in Sakribal...(amazing school...i´ll get into that later), and after our dinner in the school last night, we all went to La Luna, a cafe that has chocolate drinks. I still hold that chocolate puro is the best....Pure liquid dark chocolate...It makes me think about Chocolat with Jonny Depp! It was perfect!

I have seen the oldest church in Central America, drank some alcohol not sold in stores, and have made multiple trips to visit a friend needing some IVF and antibiotics after getting Montezumas revenge pretty badly!!! All is okay now!!

So I have had some pretty awesome interactive classes that were unexpected and unplanned, but is that not the way things go?

Overall, I have loved my time here. My favorite thing to do is wander (in daylight) and figure out where all the unique spots are! Of course, i found a used bookstore that you can exchange books for more books. For the next 5 weeks i am anticipating visiting that store pretty often! Where else would you find me!?

I don´t know what this weekend holds for me, but I can´t wait to find out!
