Oaxaca 2013 with Donzetta (bilingual)

---

Hello everyone,

I am going to try something different. Since I have friends who do not speak or read English I am going to attempt to do the blog in both English and Spanish. I will probably be doing a lot less writing :-).

Voy a trater de hacer algo diferente. Ya que tengo amigos quien no habla o lee English voy a trater de hacer el blog en ambos ingles y espanol. Probablemente voy a escribir menos. :-)

I have been very busy here since I began school on the 25th of February. In the mornings I am going to school and in the afternoons on Mon., Wed. and Fri. I am volunteering in the laboratory at La Clinica del Pueblo in a part of Oaxaca called San Martin de Mexicapam and on Tues. and Thurs. I am volunteering to teach English in Teotitlan. It is all very much fun and very interesting and the people are very nice. I am going to share some pictures of my new home, the school and the clinic. I am not sure if I have taken pictures of Teotitlan. We'll see.

He estado muy ocupada aqui ya que empece la escuela en el 25 de febrero. En las mananas voy a la escuela y en las tardes el lunes, el miercoles y el viernes soy una voluntaria en el laboratorio en La Clinica del Pueblo en una parte de Oaxaca se llama San Martin de Mexicapam, y en Martes y Jueves soy una voluntaria para ensenar ingles en Teotitlan. Todo is muy divertido y muy interesante y la gente es muy amable. Voy a compartir unas fotos de mi nueva casa, la escuela y la clinica. No estoy segura si he tomado fotos de Teotitlan. Vamos a ver.
