day 6 or 7 of rain

If you know me well, you know i do not read.....i read 2 books in the past week, and am on my third, sarah also left me with some of hers so dont worry i will have plenty to read. i tried to rent a movie but i am not a resident so there were some i can choose from that I could buy a 3 dollar copy, accidental husband it was. i dont think it is out i theaters yet and dont know how they have it here. so me and sarah sat on the couch and had hot chocolate and popcorn and watched a movie that was not even that good.

the news on tv showed the town puerto viejo i was at last weekend with perfect weather and people are now taking boats in the street to rescue people from their houses because there is so much water...i guess i choose a good weekend to go. all my clothes are wet here, with constant rain, 94% humidity and no clothes dryers everything is just a little damp..its time to go shopping.

week 4 of class, private class for me which means i have to pay attention and cant just pretend i get what Alice the instructor is saying or ask the person next to me when i start daydreaming. this will be the week i become fluent! I can order from a restraunt and am told i speak very good spanish, i can explain to a cab where i want to go...but when it comes to everyday conversation i am like a deer in headlights.

sarah went home yesterday and i am now the only sara. there is another girl alex who is from canada and is here for 1 week of school and 2 months of travel. yes it did cross my mind, i could do that too...but no i cant because i am going to israel jan 6 and should probably come home first.

what i learned today...a food even grosser than lengua is ojo and it has the consistancy of flan.
