it's monday and this is the week that we start with our spanish tutoring lessons, hooray! my italian sometimes helps me with translating, or getting the gist of a conversation or statement, but i really need more vocabulary if i'm going to tackle this language. also need some help with my prounciation since i keep saying spanish words with an italian accent, like i'm argentinian or something. i say "mon-teh-VED-dee-oh" rather that"mon-te-ved-EH-o" when talking about our nearest busy street, montevideo. let's not even get started with the "r" rolling words. geez.i also have my dance class with mexican women of a certain social/leisure class on tuesdays and thursdays. the bag collection at that class is insane; there are very large gucci, ysl and dior bags reproducing! i almost feel kind of lame with my gifted spye design tote bag and the collection of cheap mexican bags that i've aquired here (and love.) i do get to style and profile in class with my very cool KOR ONE water hydration vessel http://www.korwater.com/ that no one's seen here (some people call it a water bottle) and i fit in with my nike workout gears, but clearly this is schmancy me-time set to to J-Lo, Britney and Katy Perry. it's kind of funny to imagine, but it's the closest thing i have to structure right now, and it's cute watching rich mexican women get theit hip-hop on in a class billed as jazz dance. AND i'm learning to follow instructions in spanish.
here is a visual collection of some of the drinks erin and i have had at meals over the last 3 days. you aren't ready for the mall belly dancers yet (yes, you read that correctly) but i might post that video later.
kisses!
