Miercoles

Our days are very full here.  We wake up at about 6:30, take showers and get ready for school.  Denise, our host mom has breakfast ready at 7:00.  At 7:50 we leave the house to walk 2 blocks to school. Our teachers get right down to business as soon as we arrive.  We each have our own instructor which is great because we can all study at different levels.  After two hours we take a 15 minute break.  The second class lasts for 1 hour and 45 min and then we head home at 12:00 for lunch.  After lunch we take showers again and then work on our home work.  At 3:00 we walk a couple of blocks over to the daycare center where we read books, play on the play ground and get completely slimed by about 30 little kids with grubby little mango fingers.  But they are so cute and fun to play with.  At 5 we come home and take showers again.  Dinner is at 6.  At night we have been playing cards with our host mom and her son Oscar.  We taught them how to play golf ( a fun card game) last night and had a ball.  Denise is great to talk to and our Spanish is definitely improving.  We've been going to bed around 9:30 after our 4th shower of the day.  It is sooo hot here!  Throw a little World Cup in here and there and we call it a day.
