On Monday, some of us started our second class at the university. This is a Mayan Societies class which I'm not sure what entails yet, but hopefully I figure it out soon! This brings our class time total up to 9 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays.. and Mondays is just 7, so a little break? Wednesdays I still go to volunteering, but I only have 17 hours or so left, so in a few Wednesdays I should have those completely free to take class or to explore around Xela. The second picture is at the shelter playing some games with kids and volunteers.. I also went on an excursion with the mothers and children this week, which was very interesting and fun!
I have finished my time with another teacher. I really enjoyed my teacher because she challenged me with a few different forms of the subjunctive, which is one of the most difficult forms to pick up in Spanish, but I am working my way to making sense of it!
One whole paragraph needs to be devoted to food. I ate.... COW TONGUE AND STOMACH the other day. I also learned I am never going to ask my host mom what a certain food is again.. and the ones that she always tells me, I cross my fingers that they aren't direct translations. On the surprising side, the tongue was actually good, but the stomach.. after I found out what it actually was I don't think I'll be able to eat that again. My favorite meal is carne asada (I think it's some meat from a cow) with fresh guacamole, beans, tortillas and mangos for dessert. Really.. food doesn't get much better than that when I see the food sooo fresh!
This afternoon, I am going on an adventure with my host mom, so I am excited to explore Xela with her more!
I hope that everyone is still enjoying the MinneSNOWta winter.. I am currently sunburnt :)
Abrazos-Sarita
