Everything is going so well. Each day we grow more accustomed to our routine and our surroundings. We know many new people by name and talk to them everyday. Hearing Spanish all the time seems more normal now. This is fun!
After class, we walked over to see the city's colonial-time theater, but unfortunately it was closed. So what do we do instead? Why, buy an ice cream of course! Feeling happy with our malts and shakes, we walked toward our next destination, the church of Santa Clara. One word: ornate! It's an incredible sight to see. On the way we stopped in to a former Mexican president's house, which is now open to the public and individual businesses. One can only imagine how beautiful of a home it was during its time of the president's residence.
Later in the afternoon the students came together for a lesson on papel picado (cut paper) and how it is used during Mexican celebrations. They made some typical party decorations using tissue paper. Lulu explained the process step by step and as always, in Spanish.
