The fine weather continues and I am enjoying a relaxed routine. Went to the cine many times and one play. We had a Thanksgiving dinner party with students and teachers in the casa on Thursday that was a huge success. I run almost every day.
I’ve been in Guanajuato for a week now and am very content. The photo above is the view from the roof of the casa. It has been sunny and warm every day.
I’m enjoying going to Spanish school and I don’t think I have every spoken better, which is very encouraging considering that I’ll be here another 16 weeks or so. I go to school Mon-Fri, 9-12. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the school.
Up to now I’ve been eating out. A nice multi-course meal of the day costs around 75 pesos including tip ($6 Cdn). Also there is lots of street food of course. Saturday morning is when I enjoy tamales for breakfast in Plaza Baratillo. I made salsa roja last night and will eat in tonight.
I’ve been physically active every day, either running or hiking. I walk everywhere and everything is a short distance away. There are many options for entertainment including my favourite CineClub at the university. Just like at home, I usually watch Spanish telenovelas on YouTube in the evenings before turning in.
Life here is very tranquilo and comfortable.
I can’t complain about the weather we’ve had so far this fall. It had been good for working outside. Today, however, after working outside I got a chill and a couple of fingers went numb. Went to the local pub for dinner, a reward for my hard work. The sky is clear and it’s going down to freezing over night.
I fly to Guanajuato Mexico to November 14 to escape winter here in Garden Bay. I think the timing is perfect. Current weather down there is sunny, low 13C, high 25C. I’m looking forward to a vacation from my projects here.
