Last days in Guanajuato


Hi folks,
It's our last weekend in Guanajuato and we're ending our time here with beautiful weather and a brass band playing off in the distance as we write from the table of a nice coffee shop. We went out last night with teachers and students from Escuela Mexicana, where we've been studying Spanish for the past two weeks. It was our first night out, having both been a bit under the weather last weekend and having been simply busy, in general, for the last two weeks. Monday morning we take a bus to Mexico City, and from there make our way to the airport from where we'll fly to Oaxaca City, our next stop for language classes.

I'm excited to have a whole weekend to rest before traveling and starting new classes. Learning a new language is so so exhausting. Rachel has been doing a super job speaking, and I think it's a bit easier for her than it has been for me, though she voices frustration about not being able to express herself nearly as well as she would like. I've come a very long way in my abilities, and feel really good about it. But every sentence is a struggle. I'm hoping that it'll be getting a little bit easier as we take more classes.

There's so much to write...we'll post more soon. For now, we want to try to post some pictures from our time in Guanajuato. We hope you can see how beautiful a spot it is.
