the new normal

I haven't been here but a couple days, but I see some patterns already.  I eat some form of banana everyday.  I eat them boiled, fried, right out of the peel.  Drink a ton of super sweet coffee; there is usually a teaspoon of undissolved sugar in the bottom of my cup.  I meet lots of new people, and remember not one of their names.  I smile and nod a lot because I have no idea what is being said.

I start Spanish class tomorrow.  We have class all week at the training center from 8-5.  I live a ways from the center and I walk there, unless I want to pay 20 pesos to take a shared taxi, which you can't actually take the whole way...just part way.

I look forward to understanding everyone and learning how to make toastones.
