I have met an interesting person. Sophie is a woman who volunteers at Casa Jackson. She is taking a six month sabbatical from her regular job as a graphic designer for the Royal Shakespeare Company. When she told me where she works, my eyes popped out of my head. (One eye was successfully returned, but the other was replaced with a fake magical one. Now I look like Mad-Eye Moody.) She is also an artist and currently has an exhibition up in town, so today I went to see it. It was pretty cool. It´s neat to see some art then get to talk to the artist. I meet lots of neat people through the GCP. Hurray.
It has been brought to my attention that I have not provided any comment on the weather here. I guess this could be interesting? May through October is Guatemala´s rainy season, so a typical day is clear to partly cloudy and not too warm in the morning, pretty hot from about noon to 2:00, and cloudy (and very likely raining) in the afternoon and evening. It gets pretty cool at night. I like the weather. I don´t mind the heat, and I really like that the humidity makes my hair wavy. Here, I have mermaid hair.
Update to the list of fun English-to-Spanish songs: ¨Going to the Chapel.¨
Also, I feel compelled to add a note that I am not at my regular internet place, and I just might never come back to this new one. There are two huge black dogs, and one of them just finished slobbering all over the inside of my backpack. Gross.
How is your umbrella holding up?
ReplyDeleteEwwww on the dog slobber.
Glad you were able to recover at least one eye.
My umbrella is fine. If I needed a new one, I could easily buy another here.
ReplyDeleteI sent my bag to get washed with the rest of my laundry this week.
Eyes are good.
