back on my feet

After my post yesterday, I want to inform you that I am feeling myself again.
Today I accompanied the Texas kids to a primary school where they observed classrooms and taught an activity in English and Spanish. Afterwards we were (all! even me!) paired with one student to practice their English. I talked with Jeffery, who is 10, for a solid 25 minutes as we discussed family and words in English...it was very cool! Afterwards I worked on putting together info sheets for incoming/upcoming groups, and accompanied some of the Texas girls to lunch which took forever at Johnny's Pizzaria. My calzone was well worth it, in addition to the CPI discount. I am not hungry at all right now, and its almost 6:30pm.

I just caught the sunset with my group, and will shortly be going home to do laundry and snack, then meet with some of the Texas kids for a little going-away party for the son of a professor who is visiting. Tomorrow night there is live music at Bar Amigos, and I plan to go and work on my salsa dancing! I hope I can convince some of my kids to come with me, since I hate going by myself.

Jessica has arrived, and Diego is all aflutter. I pick up my group Saturday, and return to Monteverde Sunday night. Such is the life of a chaperona!! But I think I will have Jess to keep me company : )
