After having a few days of success, Marilyn, Jon & I decided a food stand nearby the house. We thought our spanish was doing fairly well, but we quickly learned that we definitely need some extra time with our spanish teacher Lupita. We were trying to order a vegetarian meal (probably would have been better to ask for a meal without meat...¿Comida sin carne?) and ended up with a whopping plate of meat in front of us. Needless to say we were surprised with the outcome. We ended up taking the meat back for the fiesta (Marilyn is a vegetarian) that night and ordering some quesadillas for us to eat instead.
Well I am starting to feel a little more at home here. The people are lovely and are willing to help you out, given they know English and you know a little Spanish. I have managed to run in the mornings a few more times since my first day here. The track is quite the happening place in the morning. I have to make sure I get up early enough or the traffic makes it a bit hard to get to there. Each run is a little better. The first day I felt like an elephant was on my back...now I only feel like a large man has decided to hop a ride.
Tomorrow we leave for the turtle camp. It´s about a 3 hour ride. We are taking a bus, so that shoud be an adventure. I am really looking forward to seeing Mayto (Maito). Everybody raves about how beautiful it is. I´m hoping to be able to load some pictures on soon!
TURTLES HERE I COME!
