Friday September 14/12 update
Got a note this morning that JD’s Private Transportation has
closed down so that is the reason they have not responded to me. Hopefully they can give me a recommendation
for a competent, reliable driver with access to larger vehicles if necessary.
There was only Chris and I to handle the Amigos class
today. Linda was sick, Tom had to wait
for a delivery and Miguel was nowhere to be found. With the help of two of the teens, and
Patricio, we muddled through it OK to keep the 28 kids occupied. We concentrated on simple phrases and
questions and tried to make it fun. Even
the shiest kids had no problem coming to the front of the class to repeat a
phrase, knowing the reward was a bag of candy from Chris.
I let the kids take photos with my camera so the photos are
mostly theirs.
We kept the class to one hour and the kids were OK with
that. The one teen that speaks really
decent English told us both that we are excellent teachers…. Yeah right!
I then had to kill a couple of hours so I spent them with
Chris and Bettye before heading across Avenida De Las Americas to go to Michael
and Cody Hamilton’s condo. We were soon
joined by Paul & Anita Wolf and we had a rousing night of conversation,
mostly concentrated on photography. Luckily the two ladies are also into
photography and take part in excursions, so they weren’t bored with the
talk.
The Hamilton ’s condo is
furnished with an eclectic collection of things from their residences overseas,
including Taiwan . The walls are also adorned with many of
Michael’s amazing photographs that we admire so much. We left at 11pm and made it home, sharing a
cab with Paul & Anita.
That was today’s excitement. Please see all photos at souvenircuenca.blogspot.com. Hugs to all.
