gonna give up on the capital letters. wierd keyboard.
last night there was a drum band that starts right accross the street from buby´s house. they put their drums on the street and start a fire on the street to make the skin of the drum tighten. it was a pretty relaxed bunch kinda young hippie types. they do a parade down the street every sunday night. starts at 8.00 ending at 10.00pm. they use a house accross the street to keep the drums in, so it was pretty loud at our house. it was fun to watch. they start the parade off with a young boy who waves a huge flag. that was pretty hard work to do for two hours. then comes the girls who are doing a salsa step or tango or some kinda move your feet, swivel your hips and shimmy your chest stort of dance. there was one very curvy mesmorizing woman, i saw allen watching only her, but you really could not help it. she was teaching some little girls the dance. first came two or three 12 year olds, then sexy woman with about 6 girls under the age of 10. right after that was the drummers. the part i really liked was the fact that they let two little boys, about age 6 and 4, walk first with their little drums. in america our drummers would run right over the little ones. not here. just another example of the laid back life uruguayans take.i will find out the name of this type of parade later. i am sure allen has pictures of sexy woman.
today was our first class with christina. it did not go too bad, but we were lucky because most of the lesson we had already done with our last teacher. at our school they concentrate of the forming of a sentence. think of the old fashioned writing a sentence with nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives. oh lala my head is spining. so anyways, in montivedeo they concentrate on forming and understanding, so we really don´t have much vocabulary. the idea is that you can always describe or figure out the noun if you can write or read or say the rest correctly. today we were lucky that our last teacher told us the english translation of the verb that we were changing into a present tense. worked on north, norte...south, sur...este,east...oeste, west. why oh why can i remember those four words. oh geez, cant even figure out how to find the question mark on this keyboard...i don´t know north from south, but i can say it in spanish. omg.
today is lunes. monday.
it was stormy last night. rain, lightening, thunder. nice to sleep to and also nice knowing that we are here so long that a little bad weather means nothing. today better, partly cloudy but cool like 70 degrees.
colonia has a strong portuguese influence in its architecture. there is a square in the midle of town, but no church at the end of it. the architecture is very pretty. cobblestone streets and some really nice buildings. kinda quaint you might say.
allen is making zapallitos for dinner. you saw a picture of some that mecki made last week. he wants to try to keep the seeds to grow some at home. i also think he misses cooking in the kitchen. smells pretty good here right now.
oh lord. just found the spell check button. every word is highlighted. must be a spanish spell checker. oh well you can figure out what i meant even if spelled wrong. must find wifi to use my own computer.
going on a bus trip tomorrow...should be fun.
