Today was
a good Pday, cleaned, washed, had lunch, bought an ice cream, went and found a
little painted box from Plaza Tipica and filled it with chocolate candies for
Hna Dester's birthday present (her birthday is tomorrow), and wrote, and took a
bus home and taught some lessons. Busy day with lots of people.
In other
news, the time of the mangos has past, now the guava fruits are out in force.
In Spanish it's the guayaba fruit, not to be confused with the guanabana fruit.
The first few times I was trying to distinguish between them I kept saying
"guayabana" as a mix of the 2 words, Hna Robles thought that was very
funny.
And, just
to reiterate, the buses are still extremely full...it's actually amazing how
many people we can fit into one vehicle. And since we go on buses/rapiditos quite
often, it always makes for an adventure! A lot of times we don't sit so we have to
hold onto the hand rails above (sometimes there's no rail, and just kind of a
shelf, or you have to push on the ceiling to keep yourself in place. But when
there's more people you just kinda lean on everyone and we all stay in place
and that works, too.)
And it's
hot and humid and everything, of course, sometimes around 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm it
gets more cloudy in the west and there's a nice breeze, so that's fantastic to
look forward to, around October is when everyone says the rains start for real.
