Hi!
I hope you are all fine! So the summer is over for you and spring starts for me...even though in Montevideo the temperature barely reaches 5 degrees...
It's quite a long time I don't write. The point is, I had some days off!
Last week we had September holiday, so what an occasion for discovering one part of Uruguay! I couldn't miss it, so I left on Wednesday morning heading to Mercedes, which is a small town on the west.
The weather was beautiful and I asked all the people around to move away to let me take these pictures :)
As you can see in this picture, Uruguayan fight the heat of the summer days, eating with their legs in the water :)
Once in Salto I could enjoy 3 Summer days. Salto is famous in Uruguay for its thermal waters. I just needed 2 relaxing day after all challenges of the school!
Not only did I bath though! I got to know 4 very friendly Uruguayans with whom I spent some times and who made me discover some part of the city. The most funny part was when they discover where I live...in "La Teja". At the beginning they thought I was working with kids of "La Teja" not actually living there.
As soon as they understood I was actually living there, they looked at me with widening their eyes in disbelief and started asking how it was to be there. Some of them have been living in the city for years but never dared to come even close to the place where I'm staying...So I was explaining them and showing them some pictures :)
So let me know if you still want to visit me here ;). It'll be adventurous to be in place where even the people from here judge as a "no go!".
Apart from the Therms, there was not really much to see around the city, so I ended up learning how to use the potential of my camera...I let you judge if I was successful :)
Chapter Tango: yesterday I had my second class. After the big success of the first one, I was plenty of expectation...the problem was that the teacher too was if possible even more plenty of expectations than me. So he was trying to teach me like 4 different moves which was quite a difficult task for me...
<-- What I tried to apply...
What the teacher wanted me to apply...........-->
But apart from hitting some couples which were on my (our) path and hitting a door and stepping on my partner feet 4-5 times nothing else went wrong :) But I don't have to give up! But yeah, it's more difficult than I had thought two weeks ago!
Good, I better go to sleep now because tomorrow is going to be another long day here! I hope you enjoyed reading this post and could laugh a little! Next time I'd like to write something more about my students and it'll be less funny but I hope equally interesting for you...
Have a nice week!
Bye!
