We seem to be getting thunderstorms here every evening. It must be a seasonal thing. Right now its just going crazy out there! Sunday, Edgar and I were on our way to the tienges (street market) in San Juan and we turned around halfway there because it started raining. Its not like nice BC rain, its so polluted here that the rain is poison and you don't want to be caught out in it.
Yesterday morning was beautiful, except for the smog. Sometimes it seems cloudy, but there isn't a cloud in the sky. April and I did laundry on the roof yesterday. It's where we go to be outside because there's no yard here. My shoulders got super burnt. But that's what happens with me. It'll be a tan in a week or so.
Through the couchsurfing website I'm a member of, I met a local guy that asked me for some English lessons. I told him I'd exchange them for Spanish lessons. So we're going to meet on Friday. WooHoo! My first Mexican friend. He showed me this website for conjugating Spanish verbs, so I sat here today doing that for about 3 hours or so. Its great, because you just fill in the blanks and it tells you whether you got it right or not.
Josie appears healthy and strong. She seems to be getting stronger every day. Phoebe's a little crazy since Josie's arrived, but she's so smart! Today she pointed to a triangle and told me its name! How many kids under the age of 2 know what a triangle is?!?!
Tomorrow is when the local tienges is open, so we'll be going to that tomorrow. It will be the first time April goes with 2 girls without Edgar.
The tienges is fun. I can't wait till I know enough of the language to go on my own and not have April have to interpret for me.
I guess that's all for now... I'll add pitures soon, I promise.
