Sup yáll,
we have been in Canoa for 2 weeks now. the time has flown by and rumble´s sunburn is getting worse. ha ha!
classes are going fairly well. our teacher, juan carlos, runs the hotel with his wife. he is a funny dude, and a great teacher. we have been going through a book a bit, but i have mainly wanted to concentrate on speaking and listening. most of the time we tell stories. he explains stories for us in spanish clearly so its easy to understand. and we make an attempt to tell stories with our broken spanish and lack of vocab. he enjoys our humor which is nice and sometimes his wife will sit in on a class. we have two more weeks to improve, so i am hoping it goes well. food is provided and it has been a bit disappointing. its all fried and not always enough but we should be okay for a couple more weeks.
Besides class, we have been exercising on the beach, reading, chilling in hammocks and hanging out with a few other folks at the hotel. there is a family down here named the Wonseys. the father is a massive chiseled black man with a mexican wife. they are a lot fun and are actually moving down here in september with their kids.
sadly, no real stories since it is such a sleepy isolated town. juan carlos´s dad, jayme, is an awful driver. a couple days ago, he got the car stuck on the beach and we had to push him out. on top of that, he drives 60 feet to the cafeteria for meals. absolutely ridiculous.
well thats all for now. rumbles posted pics on facebook. our next destination is a town called Banos and we´ll travel there in two weeks.
adios

there's a town called Bathrooms? very interesting. don't worry, the stories will grow exponentially, without a doubt.
ReplyDeletemissed lying down in Death Valley with the Sun Boys. it would have been very appropriate indeed. Shalom!
