temeridad

made a new friend today from Santa Cruz.  we’re going to Lago Attltlan this weekend.  seems we were both looking for travel companions so we could actually do something while we’re here.  hard to travel alone actually. so her sister lives in SF (guess you know what that means)  dont be mad Amanda.  no one can replace you……completely.

ya’ll write now ya hear?

smooches

so here i am back in xela and TRYING to speak spanish again. leaving for over a week was a BAD thing to do when it comes to keeping in practice.  kicking it back in is difficult. i was overly frustrated the first two days back but after class on friday i feel a little better about it all. i´m making stupid mistakes that i know better than to make. una problema??? NO es UN problema.  stupid me….everyone knows problema is an irregular noun and even though it ends in an (a) it´s masculine.  DUH!!!!  you see what i mean?  i think i lost a few verbs along the way as well.  oh well, next week should be fine.  i have a new teacher named Mynor.  I´ll post a pic soon.  i can tell he´s going to be great. wish me luck.  gracias, k

OK. so i had to write a little bit about this. YUCK! i read about this nasty mess before going to Belize and of course our waiter at the resort comes over with a free shot for us. do you think i tried it? GIRL PLEASE! nasty with a capital WHAT THE %/$&!!!
well, pete tried it. and what a show it was. first you dip your finger in the VIPER RUM and then you light your finger on fire and put it in your mouth. then you use a piece of banana to pick up sugar on a plate and coat your tongue in suger…..then you down the shot of rum and quickly shove the banana in your mouth and eat it. how awful does that sound? believe me, watching it was worse.
fun huh?
