Wednesday April 9th.
Nora taught all day in Caguas and I went to San Juan, to the
elementary school. Nuestra Escuelita I talked with
the director and told her about the Irlen method www.irlen.com
. I also observed classes and had a great lunch of rice, beans, vegetables and
meatballs. Their way of teaching is very
similar to ours.
In the evening after school, not too late, we walked to the
square looking for a grocery store. We found one but they didn’t have
butter….all margarine. On our walk we me a group of boys flying down the street
on their bikes, one being the snake fellow with the snake still wrapped around
his neck.
Walking down the street is an experience. First there are
the dogs, I think the average is 2 dogs each house and every time you walk by
they all bark like they want to eat you.
No need for burglar alarms here. Next are the lizards, they are
everywhere, up the walls and in the bushes, none in the house yet. At night we
hear the tree frog peepers and all day are the birds. The trees are either
loaded with flowers or fruit and there are bananas in the back yard next to us.
Last night when we came home there was a bag with oranges and the most
delicious grapefruit I have ever tasted, hanging on our gate. We are going to
get help writing a thank you note to our neighbor for them.
Pictures coming here when connection is stronger.
