Hi all!
Its been a while since we updated our blog so we thought we should let you all know what we have been up to...
We have been in Tlaquepaque for nearly a month now. Time is flying by! We are living in a house with 2 other teachers (Sean & Kelly) which is about 10 minutes walk from our school. Our house is bright orange (see pics!) We are teaching English to kids & adults, from 6 years old upwards... its hard work but we´re having lots of fun.
We managed to get some free Spanish lessons as part of our job which is really helpful! I can now buy stuff in shops & the market and i understand how much it costs, hooray!!! We can also describe how people look i.e he is tall and thin.. although i´m not entirely sure how helpful that is in life....?!
On Friday morning we went to the Corona Factory for a lesson. The tour was in English so apparently that counts...!? We discovered that Mexican tours are pretty cool... they consist of about 10 minutes of information.. followed by as much free beer as you can drink in 20 minutes. One of the students managed 9 beers!!!! It was 10am.
Then on Sunday, we went on the Tequila Express. This is basically a party train which takes you out to a tequila factory, you get to see some Mexican dancing etc etc and they give you as much tequila and beer as you can drink all day... If you check out the pictures you can see that they go a bit downhill when we get back on the train... There were a bunch of very drunk Columbians who really wanted to party... so we joined in! Unfortunately it ended a bit badly when one of our housemates fell over and knocked her tooth out! Oops. She is fine now though and laughing about it! Other than that it was a good day... I still hate tequila though!
Apart from that, we have just been teaching really... I think the plan is to go to a big salsa club at the weekend so i´m sure there will be some good pictures from that. Keep checking!
Send us your news please!!!!!
Speak soon,
Sar & Davy
