In Merida!

Well here we are in a Mexican homestay with Sophia through the ECORA Spanish language school where my husband is studying for 25 hours per week.  We are really enjoying the warm hospitality and working hard at picking up as much Spanish as we can... me through immersion in a conversational mode and my husband through the formal schooling plus the immersion experience.  Hard work!

Fun to trade recipes and try to understand one another.  I am spending my days doing yoga and also studying on Rosetta Stone on my computer and enjoying the weather!!!  This weekend we will probably get out and about a bit more.  Gets pitch black dark before 6 p.m. so days go by quickly.  We are not into walking about in the dark as yet.

Not sure where we will be after January 16th... obvious that rentals can be found here in Merida that are furnished and affordable.  Now we just have to figure out what we actually want to do... stay or go looking about other areas of the Yucatan yet.  Mind is willing but body says no to date due to the after effects of traveling with long plane and bus rides playing havoc with my back.
