There were no adventures today (just when I was getting to enjoy them), except that I had to reneter this entyr. I hope I do as well the second time around. I was very tired for not getting any sleep the night before and so it was very difficult to pay attention in class. We reviewed the Imperfecto and direct and indirect objects. It gets hard when I have use both in a sentence (which probably an indication that I don´t have them down pat). I will need to practice them more. At the end of the class we played Cocentration with Opposites. My memory wasn´t very good with not sleep. The first game my maestra (teacher) won by 3 pairs. In the second game she felt sorry for me and when there were on ly 4 cards left she mixed them up and when she guessed wrong, I was able to get teh last two pairs. I won by a single pair.

After lunch I went to the Internet Cafe to put an entry in my Blog and then went to get money for my trip to the Hot Springs. Boy what a procedure. First you have to stand in a line to give a woman the money you want to change and which she chceks meticulously and then gives you a receipt for the money. Then you get into another line for a woman to check your passport,make a copy of it, check the exchange rate and give you two forms to sign one of which indicates how many Quetales you are going to get. The you get back in the first line to get your money. I should have taken a book with me.

The I returned to my house and took a nap. I felt a lot better after the nap. On Friday evenings there is alwasy a Cena (dinner) for the students. I decided to forgo that so I would be up to snuff for the trip to the Hot Springs. I did a little ¨test run¨to the Chocolate Shop. That went fine, so I feel good to go. Then I stopped in the Internet Cafe to update my Blog (two times it turned out).

Hasta Luego!

Paula,
So glad you found a Chocolate Shop. Now I know you are doing fine, although I have been worried about where there might be a Starbucks. Sounds like you are having a great time. We'll miss you at the Food Pantry this morning. Enjoy. Janie
