Hey, I Like the Food!

OK, I moved to a different family and house. So no dog now (a cat visits sometiems over the roof). I don´t have to wind my way through the clothes on the line, try to miss the dog caca, the dog toy, the empty washtub, the iron rods sticking out of the floor, or the slanting pole that held up the clothes lines that criss-crossed the whole patio! Now I have a big patio with a roof and a light to myself, a private bathroom with a good shower, and a room with a steel door and a lock. Luckily it has a small glass window, because the lock was not working, and the string I had to use to get it open broke Sunday night. In the end they had to break the glass to get into the room. The lock is fixed now! But not the broken glass yet.

This family are great: a young couple who treat me wonderfully and she feeds me excellent food. For breakfast so far I´ve had chololate rice crispies, pancakes (twice) and this morning french toast. I´ve been to a birthday party they had for their five year old nephew, and I can use their TV and living room anyt time I want - I can also use their computer but they have no internet. I can burn CD´s or DVD´s and put pics on my memory sticks, which I hope to do real soon. Sorry, no pics today cause I don´t heve my card adaptor with me.

School is great cause I have a great teacher - and cause I study more than some students he likes me. Its fun to learn another language, though sometimes its very hard, but my teacher is very patient. I am his only student so I get lots of attention. Today after break we all played a guessing game, where someone put the name of a well known character on your back and we had to ask questions - we got 5 questions each round but I never did guess that I was Garfield!

Just before the end of our time at the hot springs I got talking to one boy about 10, and then his older brother, and then about 3 more sisters and brothers. So I gave them some flags and tatoos and a badge, and they let me take their pic, then they called me back to take a pic of them and some more family members who were there. So that was fun even though I could not understand much of what they said. I gave their mother my card - they were suyper friendly after the older boy found out I am a Scout leader cause he is a Scout too. They live in the capital - I know you know its name!

Tomorrow I meet another student at the park for a visit - he is not st our school but he´s been thgere twice now. Thursday, there´s no school in the morning, but I start at 2 PM (a las dos), and at 5 or so we walk downtown to see a parade of children (something to do with Easter). Friday is a holiday too, so only one day of classes left this week, and only one more week of study probably. I might go to a lagood called Chikabel with soem friend here. I´m working ahrd but also ahv ing fun meeting people and learning lots of things. Hope you have a great Easer holiday!
