Week 5

Another week of school, another week of Cervantino, all is well.  I’m lucky to live away from el Centro during the festival as it can get very busy and noisy.  In 5 weeks I leave Guanajuato to meet my sister in Mazatlán for our trip to Copper Canyon.

Week 4

I am 1/3 through school and 1/4 through my trip.  My Spanish has settled down and I’m satisfied with the progress, however, I can’t help but realize how impossible fluency will be after my trip.  Hmmm …

I’ve been to a number of (free) Cervantino events including a tribute to Ceasaria Evora tonight which I really enjoyed.  Watched a 4 hour film version of Hamlet in English and found the Spanish subtitles helped me understand the old English!  Lots to come as the festival runs until October 26.

Had a cold last week and Montezuma’s Revenge these last two days.  Ojalá that all will be back to a healthy normal tomorrow.  Obviously Dukoral is not fool proof.  Oddly, I think I caught the bugs from food prepared by a teacher at the school.
