Hi. Have just put a few more photos into the album, On Sunday morning I went downtown with some new students who I met at the Institute. We went into what was the Governor's Palace (free entry on a Sunday). Great interactive exhibits. Then for lunch. Monday I had a difficult day in my class - 6 new students - all of whom speak more Spanish than Katie and I (the only 2 left from last week). I was really struggling, especially as Angeles was explaining the Subjunctive tense (which I don't think exists in English)in Spanish. Anyway, cheered up after Dania explained it better to me during Intercambio and even more when I started my weaving class.
Then Kelly and I walked down to the Zocalo at 7pm for a large Michelada with everything. That's a tankard one third full of tomato concasse, chili, salt, lime and ice cubes, rimmed with chili salt, into which you pour your beer (Corona in my case). Comes with a bowl of salted, fresh roasted peanuts and segments of lime. And all for $33 - about £1.75. Hasppy days.
Class was much better today. Much more conversation and getting to know each other - and I realised that I wasn't the only one struggling. Weaving coming on well - very relaxing. I wonder could I make a loom at home?
DD arriving, all being well, on Saturday. Can't wait to see him again:)
Ciao for now x
My heart was in my mouth when I read about the incident in the market, glad you are okay. You know I have a wide selection of weaving equipment.. I am pretty sure I have a little backstrap loom I bought at a market in Quatemala that you can have, you might find them in the markets there also - they are sold as a little bundle, you can also usually buy ready made warps. Glad you are enjoying your course. I have now almost summer exhibition ready to open, paintings came today, haven't got so much of my own work finished as yet! We have lots of strawberries (and hedgehogs) in the garden. Take care, lots of love from J and me. P.x
ReplyDeleteThanks P. Would love to have a go at home. When you're coming over in November maybe you would have a little space in your case?:)
