tiempo para te'

Today was the first day of class. My professor is so funny and really easy to understand. He brought us tea and crackers and we had tiempo de te'! After class we walked to to el supermercado to buy stuff. I can't find post cards anywhere (well I haven't been able to find the post office). Apparently it's right next to my house.

I went swimming and the water is sooo nice and cool. I did get bit by something though in a straight line across my back. It was all tingly and it stung but I guess it was just water fleas. The water is brown and there's lots of animals in it but it feels so nice because it's about a zillion degrees outside.

My host mom is letting me use her bike so I rode it to usac and I got lost! Idk how someone can get lost in such a small town but I managed to. I got a good workout though. We got ice cream and walked around some more. I'm going back down to the beach later but most families go to bed early and wake up early so I don't stay out very late.

My family has a cleaning lady named Carmen who is really funny. She has no idea what I say and she laughs at me when I try and explain things. She watched while I skyped Jack and said guapo! muy guapo! and was hypnotized by the screen for like 5 minutes haha.

I am completely covered in bug bites, bug rashes, sunburns, stings, heat rash basically everything the sun or bugs can do to you. My host mom says they like gringos and it mush be true because she doesnt have any! (Don't worry Mom I'm wearing sunscreen for the most part)

The wind has been so strong that the house shakes and rattles. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight because I just realized theres no screen on my window and I can't shut it because it's not glass there's slot things. My host mom is letting me use a giant bed net thing to keep the nasty senguros away but its still loud and scary.
