Friday we're exhausted

We were late to class because there was a parrot on the neighbor's roof.

He would answer if you called "Hola."

We finished our classes today. Alden seems to understand all the foundations of Spanish. Laura and I finished learning about the gazillion verb tenses in Spanish. During the break I felt like staring at the wall for a while. I was a little overwhelmed.

Ending on a high note we played Boca Loreal in Spanish, aka guess a verb, adjective, animal, plant and country that starts with a random letter from the alphabet. As usual Laura talked a big game, then came in last place.

Denise cooked all our favorites tonight. Empanadas and beet salad. She put refried beans in these really cool clay braziers and made nachos in them.

Alden has been Denise's helper in the kitchen. She has been willingly washing dishes and cooking. Go Denise!

We also has to say goodbye to all of the little kids at the daycare today.  We gave everyone tattoos, which they loved.  Tomorrow we're are planning to go into the city to check things out and do a little shopping.
