Viernes 24

It has been planned a visit to Roanoke Catholic, which is another Private school, but this is a religious one. It failed because the teacher who would host me there got ill.
So I stayed in Angie's class, the students have asked a lot of questions for me, as the level is beginner I had to make a big effort in Spanish to make myself understood.
The next group prepares different classroom projects for Fridays, one of them showed how to prepare ice tea, he showed how to follow all the steps to make a good tea. The next student talked about his guitar, a solid wood guitar made of mahogany. (Tuve que explicar que la Cites protege los arboles de caoba como especies en extincion) The presentation finished with beautiful songs in Spanish played on this wonderful and very expensive guitar.
After that I went to pilates with Suzie, and came back just in time for lunch.
In the afternoon, finally, I finished my search for material for Phyllis class. Everything is ready, the students got their copy of the short story.
At home we had dinner and after that we watched a movie, Suzie and Dave were not expecting me to understand the movie, I guess.

I am wondering which movie you saw, and whether you understood it.

I don't remember the name of the film, but it's something like, Family father, a comedy with Steve Martin, I did understand and the the family was amazed that I could also get the funny things, because that's difficult. The humor of a culture is quite difficult to get. I have already got it and by now I feel quite at ease when they say something funny because I get it right away.
