Painting Class
Everyone once in awhile I read the calendar of events on the Government of Guaymas website, sometimes there are events happening that we want to go and see and sometimes there is nothing of interest there. The other day when I went to look at it, I noticed that there were classes beginning at the Casa de la Cultura. One of the classes listed was an adult painting class. We both are interested in painting and have long wanted to take some classes. I printed the page off and took it downstairs to ask the landlord if I had translated it correctly. I had and there were classes that supposedly had already begun the Wednesday before, this was on Saturday. We went down to the Casa de la Cultura but the office was closed until Monday.
Yesterday morning we went down and were told that yes, we could still register and that no, it wasn't a problem that our spanish is not the greatest. The registration was 50 pesos, around $5.00 and the cost for one month of classes, 1½ hrs. per class, two classes a week is 100 pesos or around $10.00. Can't beat that. So we signed up.
We were told that we didn't need to bring anything but ourselves to the class, so at 5:30 PM we were there ready to begin. It turns out that the lady teaching the class speaks some english!! What a surprise! She had all the necessary supplies there, so we purchased what we needed and were ready to begin. The first project that we are doing is a study of light and shadow; although what mine looks like is questionable. It was fun and we both enjoyed it, we are glad that we signed up and will see how it goes.
