At my Spanish lesson this morning

my teacher told me that this afternoon she teaches some of the girls from the Santa Julia in an English class if I wanted to stop by.

The lessons are going well and although I find it hard to remember lots of things I think I am making a little progress.

I then went on a mystery walking tour and at last saw some of the ladies washing clothes at the public bath house.

If there is a tree in the way, no problem!

Some beautiful colours.

 

 

 

 

 

Found myself high up over the town.

The Parroquila church is still the main landmark. For all the history and colonial buildings  modern progress is everywhere.

Grand Dad with his shopping.

In the afternoon I went back to my school and knocked on the door where my Teacher, Lilly was teaching.  She motioned for me to come and there she was my Paola sitting with her school friends. She jumped up when she saw me and came running into my arms and kissed me on the cheek.  What else is there to say?????  I stayed for an hour and just listened to these small ladies studying their English.

It was lovely to see Paola again and I was happy to see she was wearing the pink watch we bought yesterday and some bands in her hair, she looked beautiful.

Linda and Guy are Rotarians and I was invited to their Christmas Party tonight. It was a great meal and this club is outstanding in the community work that they do in SMA.

So just another great day it seems the hours go by so fast and I am really enjoying my time.
