Last weekend was El Dia de los Muertos.  We built an alter at the school on Thursday.  On Friday a group of students and teachers went out to play pool, followed by bar hopping.  I was the first to leave the party at around 2pm.  Saturday was a quiet day of recover walking the streets, viewing the tapetes, and visiting el Panteón.

This week’s highlight was the 18th Tour de Cine Francés.  I remember attending at 2007.  This week I saw 6/7 of the films and enjoyed them all.

I start week 9 of school tomorrow.  My spanish is/has advanced.  While I still make mistakes, I self-correct most and am conscious of advanced grammar issues.  Had a Spanish literature class last week that I really enjoyed and the class will continue this week.
