So, I am officially finished Spanish class....Scary! I have a certificate and everything....but I thik I am goign to still take a weekly class in San Ramon...to help advance it more...and it is reassuring in a way that is hard to explain.
And language is such a large part of my life here and at MUSADE not only my own learning, but there are a lot of new volunteers from so many places. This night, friday after work, Mari, a new volunteer form Brazil Silvia, and two people form MUSADE Dilena (eek hope I spelt that right) and Manual ...lol...and my smallest friend here, Dilena´s 4 year old daughter Mari Celeste (way to long for such an energetic girl, we call her Celeste) went to a mountain cabin of Manual´s. It has the most spectacular view, and I am going to post those pictures as soon as I steal them form Mari. =) You can see the Pacific in the day, at night we saw the lights of the port near by.
But back to language, we were discussing it and what people knew and the ins and outs of learning it. It is such and interesting process.
Ok, I just realized this post is kind of rambling, I think I have written too much this day. I warned you this might happen.
Hasta Lluego.

I don't like learning languages so I'm still in awe that you went for a placement without having solid spanish under your belt.
Lol...yeah...but it turns out language is an issue in one way or other for all of us...comes with going outside north america I guess.
