The language thing is still tiring, but better.
On a more exciting level, I apparently arrived in San Ramon the week of their yearly festival...the park in the middle of town is full of people and vendors day and night. Enid and Marie have been really nice and introducing me to a lot of people. I still feel like a little bit of burdon on them, but am getting to know things better and becoming more independant.
I also used the Scotiabank today, which is located...drumroll...in the mall down the street form Enid´s house. It is so odd the first night we went by the mall but I would not have identified it at such, on the houtside it looks like a big peach building, not like a mall at all...but on the inside it is the same. And so are the teenagers who frequent it, I swear it is carbon copy for teenagers here, even the same music. I wander sometimes if Ixqui (Enid´s daughter) and her friend really knwo what some of the songs are sayign whent hey sing them. They don´t SPEAK much English from what I can gather....
The festival is awesome and everyone is sooo nice...there seems to be quite a range of cultures in San Ramon, but they all speak Spanish fluently and they all expect that I do too...before i open my mouth. MUSADE has a booth at the festival and many of the women who make the trinket´s it sells help run the booth. They are really a happy bunch on the outside.
Oh, I also registered for Spanish classes in San Jose, they are half day for 2 weeks and I start Tuesday....I actually, can´t wait!
