Today was much better! I started my 4 hour spanish lesson class. My teacher is extremely nice and I did pretty good! Its been forever since I took Spanish classes. After class, one of the professors took me to a ATM that actually works. Most of the ATMS are closed because there are no police here so it would be easy to be robbed. But i finally got money out and he also showed me where I could buy a SIM card for my cell phone. I called Dad from it, I´m so relieved that it works. However, I need to buy more minutes for it. After that, I went to Joyride Cafe. Lonely planet recommended it.. its a place where all the gringos hang out. a gringo is a person who is traveling south america. Geez.. i sure love lonely planet because I made friends within 2 minutes!!! literally! A guy named Alex from England, Murrey from New Zealand, and a girl from Oxford England.. i cant pronounce her name. haha. everyone here just calls each other by the country they are from anyways. They are off to Potosi for a few weeks but the guys are coming back to
my bedroom
this is my little roomSucre. Later, I went to the Market to buy las frutas! The market is similiar to the markets that were in Mexico City. Tons of fruit, meat, bread, clothes, and random products. I bought some mango, melons, peaches, and apricots. everything is so cheap here! I live off of 7-10 bucks a day but i could be living off of like 5 US bucks! The family im living with feeds me breakfast and lunch. They finish every last crum on their plate. I need to start doing that from now on. If i leave anything on the plate, they think that im not hungry or i dont like it. the thing is .. they eat a typical size dinner during lunch! so at 100 in the afternoon im eating this HUGE meal.. ive got to get used to it. The mom is named nancy and her son is named Victor. Nancy´s hair almost reaches her feet. I think one day she will trip over it. haha. later that night I went back to Joyride and met 5 mor epeople! they were friends with Alex and Murry... They are in Sucre because they are playing professional basketball. They are from Belize
