What a day! Fran and I went out for dinner last night at a little cafe close to our apartment. We brought our spanish homework and did it over beers. Our dinner came, a mozzarella, olive, and onion pizza and we just chatted about how hard the classes are, the numerous people walking their dogs along the park across the street, and various passers-by. Today we woke up a little late and just did things around the house until it was time to walk the 20 minutes to school. Class today was tough! It is a "sink or swim" system and they do not speak ANY english during class or after. We are a little overwhelmed and had homework again tonight. So, as I think will be our pattern, we went directly from class to an outdoor cafe for happy hour, 2 beers for $11 pesos(<$4 american) and did a little homework and relieved the stress of class. Then to the supermarcado on the way home for a bottle of wine and a variety of six beers to put in the fridge. We freshened up and actually turned RIGHT out of our building(every other day we went left) and walked to one of the major boulevards (12 lanes of traffic) and sat at another cafe to finish our homework, eat baked chicken and potatoes, and two more tall Heiniken. It was very pleasant outside, we have a great view of the boulevard and a nice walk home. We are 3 hours ahead of the states, so the results are not in for the election. We have been discussing politics with our 2 roomates who are from Switzerland and Germany. We get american CNN on the tv, so we are watching the results and discussing the repercussions with our roomies.
We also got our AC fixed today, so I expect to sleep well tonight and go for a short run tomorrow. It is getting humid here, so the AC is welcome. Talk to you soon!
