El fin de semana!!

Yay! The weekend has arrived. A break is appreciated, as learning Spanish is hard work.

Here is the school, Ixbalanque:



It is a pleasant, peaceful place with lots of beautiful flowers. Alex has his class on the second floor, lurking through the roses:



Melissa is here with her maestra Ada:



After three intense hours, classes end at noon. We walk home, up several hills, this being the one closest to the house:



We are ready for lunch after this climb!

We are all working on different things--Melissa is working on verbs, Alex on verbs in the past tense (preterito, for there are two past tenses), and I am working on the mysterious difference between por y para. Lots to remember, but it is amazing how some of it is actually sinking in!!

After our siesta, we head out for a walk where we catch up on what is happening in the outside world. Wifi access is good and easy to find, so we feel connected.

We are half way through our adventure here. Alex is ready to come home now, I think we all will be when we get on the plane next Saturday!
