The first English session we taught today had less than our usual bunch of kids (I think they thought we had ended our classes), and those kids showed up 40 minutes late. Anyway, we taught them the lesson we had planned out for today and hoped that they would learn something new. After this first session we headed out to eat lunch by walking about a mile down to a local grocery store/mall called Mega. Here we ate a restaurant called En Cima and got big drinks of Limonada (see below) that looked like they were alcoholic. They weren’t it turns out and I enjoyed my meal there.
We then returned to the girl’s apartment where we hung out for a while as we waited for our next English session to begin. At our next English session we had a lot less kids show up than usual. Usually we have around 30 kids for this afternoon session, but today we had only 9. I’m guessing all the other kids just didn’t know about our session today or they just thought we had cancelled it. Anyway, Andrew and I left an hour early around 5pm so that we could get back up to Huehuetoca and beat traffic.
When we got back to Huehuetoca (our trip in the taxi, bus, and micro was good) we saw people swimming in the runoff water reservoir in Urbi which was surprising. One girl was fully clothed and so we walked up to her group of friends and asked why she was in the water. They replied they had dared her to and so she had to do it. I don’t know what kind of friends they are, but I wouldn’t have done that for a dare. After this not much happened today, although I may be starting something new here in Lina’s house for the workers that come to eat in her kitchen. I had the idea tonight to start teaching a little English to the workers to make their meal more worthwhile or entertaining.
Maybe I’m on to something or maybe not. I’ll try it out over the next few days and see how it goes.
