Sunday:
Spanish Level: I’m at a point now where I can communicate basic needs and wants. My grammar is getting better slowly but surely. The next step is to be able to have a little more meaningful conversation and the only way to get there from here is to simply memorize more words.
We watched a bad scary movie, House of Wax, till about midnight last night so everyone slept in. Most movies here are in English with Spanish sub titles. I am not able to read in Spanish fast enough to keep up in Spanish yet. Everyone came over for breakfast and we wanted to go to a pool but two pools Carmen knew of were closed for the month and the one I like to go to at Plinio had a special event going on, so no swimming.
Everyone went to lunch at Carmen’s brother's (Guiermo - who owns the store) house. This was an event because there were about 16 people there. It had to have been the biggest meal I have had since I have been here. The men sat around and watched football after lunch while we all did the dishes and talked. Guiermo gave the San Jose family a big fish to take home with them. A man from the fish market delivered it to Guiermo's house fresh after lunch. After they figured out how to wrap and pack the fish in the car for the 3 hour trip, the San Jose visitors headed home. We all took a nap!
On Sunday nights we watch a program called Bailar (or something close to that). It is a show where a normal person gets to dance with a professional and they narrow it down to the winners. It is a great show to learn Spanish with too because now that I have had my dance lesson I know what they are talking about more. The dancing and costumes are great too. The show also follows the lives of the person dancing in their families, their husbands and or wives come on stage with them whenever any of the dancers are recognized. It's an interesting look at "reality TV" here.
