Sorry guys, this is just gonna be a short one. We are currently sitting in the smoking section of Cybercinas (Con found his favorite cigs: "Deliciados," the kind the real Mexicans smoke).
We will update you with all of our juicy volunteering details on Saturday. By then we will have also attended a fiesta (we{re actually making some amigos here!!) and a Pulqueria, a place where old Mexican men sit around for hours drinking Pulque (google it).
Volunteering is challenging and fun. I just have to give you a few details before I take off: Con and I are teaching kindergarden twice a week and first graders three times a week. The kids always give us big hugs after class! I{m also helping kids with learning disabilities express themselves with art. I love that job, and those kids have about the exact same knowledge of the spanish language as I do, so we{ve had some nice conversations. Con is also teaching a group of teenaged boys. It{s his favorite job yet - the kids love him! He{ll start baking next week, and I{ll start teaching at an orphanage as well.
Oh one more thing. We just came from our new favorite restaurant, a little hole in the wall a few blocks from our apartment that has the most delicious food for muy cheap-o. Good stuff. Miss y{all!

Hello Latin Lovers! It sounds like you two are having a blast and really loving where you are! This is what international travel should be! I'm so looking forward to following your blogs...keep them up and take care!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're doing GREAT. And I have a feeling it will get nothing but better, as you get to know the kids, the language, and the community better. Congrats on getting off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteBar exam Tues/Wed. Studying like mad. Snowed last night (3-4 inches; pretty). Hope you're enjoying the smell of the flowers.
Love, OMR
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
ReplyDeleteConcon told me that he was going to STOP smoking when he arrived in Mexico.
You mean he was totally lying to me?
