Baile de los Viejos

Realized I could upload movies!

So here's an older one of the Viejos, who are in reality masked drunken youth which arrive at the prayer services practically every afternoon in May to celebrate la Fiesta de las Flores y Frutas by beating one another with sticks.

Some boys from my art class showed up to watch the construction, read Jorge el Curioso and make sure I had someone to play with.

its actually happening!

Started and finished the renovations on the computer lab last Saturday!

The computers arrive next Tuesday.

Woot.

Independance Day

This was one of those events that I like better now that its (finally!) over and there will be no more all day marching band practice in the schools tiny courtyard. The event was huge though and another chance to sit at that mesa de honor alongside the priest and the Alcaldesa for a couple hours feeling important and wondering what exactly I was doing there.

X-Country!

In the last couple weeks my former neighbors have started running with me. We run pretty much every day for 20-30 minutes and they are fast. And into it. As is Ginger, my old dog and bff, even if she was a little less willing to take part in our photo shoot.

Art school

pollo campero and dance party with the jovenes!

Noche de los tortugueros

Full moon hike at Ryan and Jason's! The original goal was to patrol the beach at night, collect sea turtle eggs and take them to a nursery before the tortugueros (poachers) got to them. In reality there were a lot of us and it was a bit too much of a party to outdo the professionals, but it was an amazing night. My friends surprised me with cake and singing at midnight!! (birthday!) and I snuck in a few more almost successful attempts to surf.
