Llueve y Escuela

Yesterday some of us went down to the zocalo or main square of town. Because it was Sunday all the families were out and enjoying their afternoon. We caught the very end of the Spain v. Germany Europe Cup game...you all know who I was rooting for, and they won!!! We also found a mercado and watched as people danced, ate from the street vendors, and laughed at the clowns performing...until....a HUGE storm rolled in and it began to rain cats and dogs! We took shelter under a covered walkway but still got a little wet from the strong winds. Thats how the rainy season goes in Cuernavaca!

Today is Monday, the first day of classes, which went well. After classes we went to a public school to visit with the school children and sit in on some of their classes...it was an incredible experience! They all wanted our signatures and for us to take their picture...I even had a few little girls that were like my entourage for the day! It was incredible. Then the director of the school allowed us a little q & a time, which was also interesting. Now its off to lunch, and who knows what else for the afternoon. I think I may have a bit of Montezumas Revenge, so I will probably lay low. =0

I cant quite figure out how to upload my pictures, but if I do I will post them. The pics of the school children are especially precious! Hasta luego!

I sure hope you brought something for the "Montezumas Revenge";)
Sounds like you're having fun. Just like your signature quote, "Life is a journey, not a destination". You are living proof of that theory.
Similar to the song, this is the time of your life, it truly is, enjoy.
Love Mom
