Earthquake!?!

Crazy!

Today was a crazy day! We had so much sun, and so little rain. It was WONDERFUL! However, I forget how much stronger the sun is. I sat outside for awhile today and then had a long bike ride to a school this afternoon, and now my arms and shoulders are on FIRE!

Then, I went to eat with some friends at this great Indian Restaurant. We had to wait about an hour and a half to eat, but it was definitely worth it. Me encanta Sabor de la India. Anyway, while we were sitting there, we noticed the table start to shake. We looked around and other people in the restaurant were all looking around and we realized that the whole room was shaking. It was an earthquake! It didn't last very long, and was only intense enough to be super cool! It was a good first earthquake experience for me!

Tonight, I went with some friends from school and from the hostal to a benefit party for a women's weaving cooperative, Trama. It was a Salsa/other dancing party..very cool! There were free salsa lessons and then everyone just danced. I danced with some fun people, and we were all glad we went. I really need to find a way to keep up this salsa dancing thing when I return to the states....

Today, I biked to another school up the mountain to teach English. There was some confusion about the English/Art classes, so we combined forces. I basically led the kids in a lesson about names for body parts in English, including a group rendition of "heads shoulders knees and toes..." and I realized later after talking with some of the kids and art teachers that I REALLY like working with the kids. I like it way more than I thought I would.

I need to think about that more....
