I have completed six weeks of Spanish school and have at least six more to go.  Went for turkey dinner at the neighbor’s Christmas Eve.  The owner of my house prepared breakfast Christmas morning for three of her friends and I was invited.  The group then went for a hike up a local mountain.  The weather was sunny and warm, as it is again today, as is the forecast for the coming week.  Am invited to a “gringo” party tonight.  Don’t really want to go but I guess I *should*.
