Fiesta and Random

Hello all,
I am feeling much better today, and I got better as the day went on.  The antibiotics are great.  So this evening there was a fiesta celebrating the Spanish school's 28th anniversary.  Everybody with classes currently there was invited, which meant my entire group.  We went and had a blast, there was good food, music and then lots of dancing.  Salsa, modern, random and yes we even managed to do a line dance.  It was great fun.  Tomorrow morning there is an optional field trip I am going on which I will fill you in on later and everything else that has happened these last couple of days.

So random things to mention.  First, sadly yes there is a McDonald's here, but surprisingly I would not have seen it if it had not been pointed out because there are no golden arches and it is in a regular building looking like everything else here.  Second, yesterday when I was sick there was one fun thing, I got to ride in my first Tuk Tuk (I will put up a picture later because I am not sure how to explain it being this small little motorized thing two people can ride in).  Thirdly, there are armed policemen and military men everywhere (well lots of places).  Fourth, it is fun to take your life in your hands and cross the streets, there is kind of a balance where cars will not stop to let you go but so you need to just cross, but you can't too close or they won't stop either.  Don't worry, we are all learning fast.  And lastly for now, I finally had semi cold water today.  Bought it in a convenience store.  (the only drinking bottled water limits ice around here to zero and expensive electricity makes you not store it in a fridge.)

Until later
Teresa
