Well another torturous week of espanol full on training and learning, head saw everyday so progress is good.
This week Ellen and I did half time change sides with our teachers, Ellens original teacher somewhat more fun than mine.
I learnt that in spanish if someone says “es muy caliente” it is very hot, if you say “yo estoy muy caliente” (I am hot) it means “I am hot for you and want sex”
Do I seriously need to explain on a hot day my wee stuff-up .... no I didn’t think so, lets just say gramma was not my strong point when I was younger and whaddaya know it still isn’t ... but I am learning, I should be out of jail next week.
Wednesday night we were treated to a lightning storm, we were about 15 minutes late back to the casa to catch the storm on top of Xela but it did provide some neat backdrops again the mountains.
Muy bonito (very beautiful)
Just stunning watching the anger and listening to it
What a treat
Got the mid week study blues and had to take a pic cos this is just wrong, Maya lookin lonely and me wanting to go for a ride rather than study so a severe warning to other travellers of these inherent dangers.
So with a mostly uneventful week at school we were looking forward to Friday for two reasons, firstly it is Friday and our working week finishes, secondly and more importantly it was out 1 year celebration on the road so with a potluck dinner at school planned it was game on.
This is the menu board and I will explain one word which essentially you can read the entire board, each of us had to bring something and note it so we didn't end up with 20kgs of tacos with no filling, the word you need to know is Frito .. this means fried, the menu was recklessly attacked by an american
.... the rest is up to you ... do read it all.
Armed with a box of cheap (frito) wine, a (frito) chocolate caked lovingly baked by visa and some home made (Frito) guacamole we went to the party with our school amigos.
365 days since we evicted ourselves from New Zealand and here we are back at school.
The night was an early finish (11pm) for us given Ellen had a 5.00am start and I was heading away for a ride.
Good night all, thanks to all who have followed us and supported us through thick and thin.
