And they’re playing Whitesnake at the cafe.

“And I made up my mind, I ain’t wasting no more time. Here I go again.”

Que loco mundo, no?

The second day of class came and went. I can’t tell you how good it is to have a little bit of productive human interaction in one’s life. My teacher Cecilia says I’m a good student, but I have a feeling it might be a situation like that of our beginning ski instructor, in which every student they have is the single best student they’ve encountered. It’s going well, though, and challenging. But I’m learning a lot, and promptly forgetting it.

I really like the Norwegians. I see them as kids (they’re probably 23 or 24), but they know a hell of a lot more about traveling in foreign countries than I do. I’m actually bummed that they’re leaving in a few days. Hopefully the new kids that move in speak un poco de ingles, tambien.

Also, the catarro situation is almost resolved. You’ll be happy to know that the graphic scenario that had evolved concerning my lungs and nasal region has come and gone, and I’m only a bit congested and slightly pink around the edges. To my great relief. I ran like a champ yesterday with no ill effects.

They’re going to kick me out pretty soon (I finished my hamburguesa a long time ago), so I’ll leave it at that, but as soon as we have access al casa, I’ll post a couple more pictures.

Chau (this is how we spell it).
