I am so excited to be here!! Hopefully you all know that by now, but I just thought I'd say it again. This morning was not the best. I had trouble in my Spanish class and got a little frustrated. After that, I tried my best to perk up and tell myself to keep going.
We took our laundry to be washed for the first time here, which made us feel like we actually belong. Things like finding somewhere to eat and realizing where you are in relation to the casa are large parts of feeling "at home". This evening a group of the girls went to Gimnasio Urbano, which is a gym that our instructor likes and has friends at. We all participated in an Aerobics class. It was a blast! Not only were we working off all the food we'd been eating and attempting to follow along in Spanish, we were also finding another place to belong. I have never done aerobics class before, so I looked ridiculous at first but after awhile I got the hang of it. Each of us paid only 200 pesos ($10) for a month's membership!
I have enjoyed getting to know the people I live and go to class with. We are finding that we click and also sing very well together :)
To all of you who have been reading these blogs, I really enjoy writing them but also would love to hear your comments, questions, etc.
Mucho amor!
Sounds like you are being immersed in the culture really well!Thanks for sharing all your adventures with us. It's bringing back lots of memories(going to the feria)---Wow! What a great deal on an Aerobics class.--Have a fun time with everything even learning Spanish. Enjoy every minute!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! I am so jealous. The aerobics class sounds like it could have been interesting. When I went to Germany I went to a dance class, and I imagine my experience was similar to yours. I followed along just fine, but I was a little slower than the rest of the class. lol I'm so proud of you for reaching out and trying new daring things. Oh, and WOW the gym is cheap! Yeah for Pesos! haha...just think, if you had gone to England, it would be about 4 times that if not more! Love ya, and as my grandmother would say, use fresh film! Which means, take in every sight, sound, smell so that you won't forget a single detail.
