Hello all,
So today is the national holiday or whatever of Antigua. They had lots of stuff going on all day; in fact part of it was over this last weekend too. My professors allowed us to start class late in order to watch part of the parade this morning. It was really great and very interesting. I took some videos of one of the marching bands. I will probably not get more photos up until this weekend. As it is, I am writing this in word because the internet is having issues. In the parade, there is a Miss Antigua, who is the niece of my Spanish teacher. So after watching part of the parade, we all got on a bus to ride to the building where we have class. But as it is a holiday today, the building we normally have class in was closed, even though the professors had asked last week. So we got off the bus halfway and just walked back. We ended up having class in the hotel that is serving as the field school office currently. Class was pretty good, but my host dad said he was sorry we had to have class on this holiday. The rest of the day was regular. Came back and had lunch, a special lunch that the entire family cooked, then went to Spanish class for three hours. Afterwards my peds group met for about an hour and a half to discuss everything and articles. I came back, had dinner and am now writing this blog. I need to do my Spanish homework and maybe read some for Wednesday. Otherwise I am going to bed early.
Adios,
Teresa
