There have been lessons all around for the last couple of days. I'm not counting the fact that Stephen and I have grammar and conversation class every, though. I think I mentioned in a past blog that I'm teaching a quilting class on Thursday nights at Vida Nueva San Jose. This past Thursday night Stephen skipped basketball and went to Vida Nueva with me. He began teaching piano to Ana and Carolina.
Last night, Ruth (my Grandma Tica) taught me how she uses a telar to crochet scarves and other items. I bought my own telar and yarn and we got started last night.
Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to show/teach Flor (my Mama Tica) how to make apple pie. This may be the most interesting lesson of all because we don't have access to everything I would use if I were in the states. (Just what do you roll the crust on if there's not a countertop and you can't find a store that sells wax paper?)
Anyway, I'm including pictures from all of the classes so far. If the pie turns out well, I'll post a picture of it before it disappears into the stomachs of the 9 people who live here!
All of this to say, it's really important to be a "lifelong learner!"
