Hey folks, thanks much for the comments. I can´t write much tonight because I´m too tired but it was a good day. I survived my second trip on the combi bus, got most of my Spanish homework done, did my whole yoga routine. Tomorrow, we´ve organized a class after training.
The training here is really interesting. I´ve heard a lot about adult education methods but never seen them really used. We are a very active crowd. I haven´t laughed so much in a long time. Being able to laugh at yourself is a must here. I´m walking a lot and the other volunteers in my community go with me on the bus because I was so scared by the damn thing the first time. They roar off the second you put a foot on the first step. At least I know how to ask for my stop now.
I could write a book on the first few days but I don´t have time! Did I say I really like my family even with the chaos of 4 kids, 4 ducks, one dog and grandma with senile dementia?

Hi Sara,
It seems like you are having a ball. I am reading your blog every night before bed time. I am trying to imagine it all. Photos?
kisses

It sounds like you need a good pair of shoes with REALLY STICKY RUBBER soles so that you don't slip off the first step of the bus once it takes off on you!
Hi Sara, I should thank you for blogging, it made me figure it out. I'm starting evening clinic at South, no ducks hopefully, but possibly some dementia.
I loved combis in Mexico, but I was 22 yoa at the time. I had a giant hog living below my window, and a rooster that hopped up the stairs and sat on my camp pillow.
Your farm girl upbringing will come in handy.
Miss you, Ken
I love that you are laughing lots!
Sara
Paul sent me the link to your blog today and I'm so glad. I can almost hear your laughter as you write. I'm so happy for you and I so admire your sense of adventure. You are one of the few people I know who wouldn't be phased by living with kids, ducks, dogs, and Gramma with dementia.
Have fun and keep blogging. Can't wait to read more.

My dear friend Sara,
I am figuring out the blog thing, like a few others it seems!
As I read about your adventures, I am having "flashbacks" to my own experiences living in Argentina and Mexico!
Keeping a good sense of humor is important, so I am laughing with you, too!
Isn't it a good feeling to be so exhausted and so excited at the same time?
I am impressed that you are writing frequently!
I know that sometimes at the end of the day, it could be considered a chore--so Thank you!!
Cuidate mucho!

Hi Sara:
I've been several days trying to remember my gmail address and password. Finally, with greg and odile and shawn helping me, we retrieved the user name and I made up a new password.
I'm in Tucson and yesterday was Miriam's 3rd birthday...a wild and wooly party with a bunch of three year olds and their parents and mostly little siblings. A DORA pinata was the "hit" of the party.
We are all wondering how you are doing this weekend...hopefully not too tired.
Love, from Greg, Odile, Shawn, Miriam and me
