5 julio 2007
Yesterday Ruth and I celebrated the 4th of July in our “recamera” (bedroom) with 3 votive candles, one red, one white and one blue, drinking a little “peach wine”. Salvador and Maria joined us. I can’t begin to describe all of the animated conversations we are having—my Spanish is on the move!
Our conversation “class por las calles” took us to a el Museo de Arte Contemporaneo and a magnificent church—full of flowers and gold.

Today, Thursday, July 5th, I made my first presentation for my homework assignment on the educational system of the United States—tomorrow I do Mexico’s. It was great—definitely something I know about, but it is exciting for me to be able to do it in Spanish! Later our conversation “class por las calles” took us to the Conservatory of Music and the Museo del Estado. We returned a la casa for the afternoon comida and then up to the roof for a cerveza. Then this evening Ruth and I returned to “el centro”, which is quite the bustling place to be a night. There was a band in the jardin, and a huge crowd of people dancing (see the picture). Later the cathedral was lit. !Estuvo un gran noche! Tomorrow, el desayuno en el mercado (breakfast in the market) with our grammar teachers. Maria has given us warnings to “be careful”—!cuidado! (be mindful of what we eat, and from whom) (We will be!)

Beautiful pictures and buildings.
Sounds like your casa is an ideal set up and Ruth is the perfect companion. What is the weather and temp like there ?
Happy wanderings!
love judita.
¡Hola Cuñada! The weather is perfect. It is cooler at night, but not COLD, and warmer during the day, but not HOT. There are thunder and lightening and rain every night, sometimes really STRONG, last night the wind was so hard and LOUD, I got scared-- so did Ruth-- we almost ran into each other's bedrooms-- and then it was TRANQUILA. I wear skirts and sleeveless blouses or shirts each day, and sometimes jeans . . . . Love, tu amiga y cuñada
What wonderful experiences you are having - and add to this your Spanish "is on the move..."
Luv ya,
Mom
