Spanish Lessons
I have been meaning to get busy and take some spanish lessons again; but have been being very lazy about it. The fellow that I went to last spring is unable to do it anymore because of work constraints, so I had to find someone else.
Bliss a fellow blogger in San Carlos has been coming into Guaymas and taking lessons from a lady here, so I got the ladies name and phoned her one day. We made arrangements for a friend and I to go for lessons on Tuesdays.Yesterday S. and I arrived at the ladies home and spent an hour conversing with her mostly in spanish. We have some homework, we have to write something for her in spanish and she will correct our grammar. This is something that I had being doing in the spring with my other teacher and I found it very interesting and so did he at times.
Yesterday morning we went to do a load of laundry and get some groceries; but first I needed to get some cleaner for our paintbrushes before painting class tonight. There are 2 paint stores almost right beside the laundromat so I decided to start with them first before heading uptown. Sure enough the first one I asked had it. The fellow came and put a 1 litre coke bottle on the counter. He then proceeded to take off part of the coke label. 20 pesos, about $2.00, and I was out the door with my brush cleaner. Well that was easy.
Do you remember the group The Platters? Well, the group is coming to give a couple of concerts here in Guaymas. Unfortunately the concert is the same evening as our painting class, so we have decided that we won't go to it. I am sure it will be a good concert though.
Here is the concert information if anyone is close and interested.
The Platters will perform at the Civic Auditorium downtown in Guaymas on Monday Feb 18th, two times, one at 7Pm and the next at 9:30pm. Tickets at the Auditorium taquilla, they are for sale already, two prices; $200 and $180 pesos. For information call 224-2626, ask for Ana Maria Almada for English.
