Catch Up

So since I have updated last I have done a lot. The sauna/sweat lodge was amazing!!!! I had such a great time and it felt so good. I think I stayed in a little too long because about half hour after I got out I thought I was going to be sick. . . but I'm ok! Lesson learned. I have also taught music class, english class, and attended two different women circles.
Music class went alright. Lets just say I don't want to be a music teacher when I grow up. Also, who invented recorders. . . whoever did, mistake.
After teaching music classes in on Wednesday I went to a women circle in the community of Llano Pinal. It was my first time cooking with the women and we had a great time. We decided to cook chicken with mushrooms and tomatoes. It was delicious. We all got along really well and they are super excited for me to come back. Next week we are going to be making an "eclair cake" which is basically layers of cookies, icing, cool whip, and some other fun stuff. I think they are really excited for the new recipe and to have me come back.
Thursday I went Cantel and taught English. We learned how to express preference so I taught them the phrase "I like. . . ". We made note cards and on each note card had the phrase and an example of what the liked. For example, they had to make one for food so they would write, "me gusta pizza" and then underneath that they would right, "I like pizza". On the backside of the note card they drew a picture of the item the like. They had a great time with this activity. After teaching I had a women circle that afternoon in the same community. We made Plantain Fritters. They were so yummy. This is going to be one I make on my own. They loved it and I am very happy they enjoyed it because all of the ingredients in that recipe is very excessive to the women.
Now it is Friday. I am on my lunch break and we have been cleaning all morning. We have two groups arriving tomorrow morning, one of which will be staying here. We are almost done with the cleaning and now there is just cooking to do.
I have yoga tonight and some other fun things to do. Adios for now!
PS. I hope you all get rain very soon. I'll try and send some of Guatemala's north.
