Well we are midway through our second week of language classes and we are all sounding much better! Working one-on-one for four hours each day is pretty intense but it is paying off. After class Sully went to the bank to change some money. The banks were closed on Monday and we were down to 75 centavos which is equal to about 10 cents! We had to pay off some debts around town (Alden had bought a skirt on Sunday which the lady let her take on credit and we had to beg the laundry lady to wash our clothes on Monday and not get paid until Tuesday, thankfully everyone is very nice and trusting!). After taking care of all of that we went shopping and got all kinds of gifts to bring home! It is hard to chose because everything is so beautiful.
After dinner we walked downtown to hear some girls playing the Marimba. Walked home in a cold rain.
Today we are going to hike to a Mayan Cave, I'm exited to get out of the city and the kids are definitely in need of some exercise. We walk everywhere we go but other than the alley there is no place to run. Tilghman is pretty fed up with the alley because every time he falls the cement and rocks tear up his hands and knees. Yesterday he had the broom out there sweeping but I don't think it did much good!
HAPPY 4th of July to you!!!!! We will be so HAPPY to see you.... the kids are counting down the days.....xoxox's to all...... love, Aunt Cookie
ReplyDeleteFeliz el dia de independencia!!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the cave- it should be nice and cool!!! You are beating the heat.
Yay, Sully-going to the bank was a great adventure. In Antigua, there were guards with rifles at the ATMs. Kind of scary... Glad to hear Pana is much more relaxed and NOT a city.
Can't wait to hear you speak en espanol when you return.
Thinking of you today!

Sounds awesome! To bad you guys didn't have any fireworks down there. We went to Hannah and Kody's with the Coppas and Minks. Every year I forget how much I hate fireworks. Judson and Dad were tired so they left before the fireworks and Jud drug Mom home. When they left and the fireworks started I remembered i hated them. I spent a good portion of the time in the house eating crackers.
