Three new teachers arrived today from the United States. Carlos is a Mexican national, but has been living in the USA, and Melissa and Bonnie are both Americans. My boss, Jose Tamay, told me that they would be teaching Magali and the ladies in the spa, and probably having some classes in town. I told him that Magali was my favorite. That did no good; but Magali said that she doesn't want to switch teachers if I don't mind. I sure don't!
Also, Magali mentioned that la duena Belisa would love to have an online storefront. So, I have a grand project for those times that I find myself with nothing to do. I should be able to make wonderful headway on that before I leave.
This morning, I don't know how it came about, but Jim and Fernando were talking about me and Jim told Fernando that I'm 33. Fernando was stunned that I am younger than him (he's 38!). So, I have officially lost my youth... To add insult to injury, we began an informal poll, and Luis thought I was 50!!! Fernando then spent half of the morning explaining that it is a sign of respect to say a woman is older. And that he didn't want me to take it the wrong way, but I have nice things, and a nice job, and so they call me older. It was pretty funny, and I wasn't offended in the first place -- just kind of stunned.
I walked into Piste today and was soaked in the rain. It was delightful. I bought a pair of jeans and two pairs of underwear for $ 190 pesos, which I just calculated as $15. Pretty sweet. They sell bras for $30 pesos, which is $2.35 each. They are not as nice as Victorias Secret or Gap Body; but they are the same quality as JCPenney or Kohls.
