viaje siempre

and the trip continues with more futbol games, daily adventures and mas amigos. I went to another futbol game, here is a picture of all of us in a restaurant before the game. I bought a shirt, and even hagled the price a bit, if you can believe that.







We also went to a ceramics factory, in which I got the chance to reconnect with my highschool skill of throwing pots. It's a great activity, getting your hands a little slimy and trying to balance a peice of clay in the center before shaping into what your mind is imaginingg. a little metaphor of life, i suppose.

Every Friday the school has a fiesta for all the students who are graduating. the group picture is of the party, and these are a few of the people that i've been spending my time with. Locos, pero muy divertidos. Mucha gente ineresante aqui.

For some minor updates, the dogs continue to bark, and the tapones de los oidos don't block out this noise. I'm hesistant to push the earplugs too far into my ears, unlike my mom who has to pull them out with tweezers after sean and I spend the night at her house. And now i have two other students living in the house with me: one from oregon and the other from Canada. nice people, although i think i mentioned the paper thin walls before. well Chiperion, the guy on the other side of the room, has started conversing with me through the wall. Now where do i go to find some private time? I can hear everything he does in that room, everything. he's a nice guy, one who talks in hyperboles and laughs aloud when he does his homework. the other night, he says 'oh wow', then says 'hey amy, so you know the word for fox.' i reply with a monotone, 'no'. 'it's zorro, that's probably where they got the name of that movie. wow, i'm never going to forget that!'

I climbed up a mountain to see an active volcano. that was pretty neat. the volcano erupts every thirty minutes, mas o menos, and huge plumes of smoke rise from the top. As the smoke rises, you can hear the earth trembling. quite an experience. Here are a couple of pictures.





This last weekend I climbed to the highest point in Central America, el cima de volcan tajumulco. i'm currently in the process of writing a blog in espanol explaining the trip. i have some incredable pictures as well, so i'll include them. Don't be decieved though, these pictures are from the other, active volcano.

Well everything here is good, and i miss you all. always looking forward to getting emails from you all, so if you get some extra time write me and let me know how life back at home is. amy.cacace@gmail.com.

For now I must be off, i have two hours of salsa dancing classes ahead of me. i signed up for five private lessons this week.
