And I guess that's not a horrible thing. These Spanish mosquitos think I taste pretty good...I suppose I could take it as a compliment. :) We're all tired today...we've been pretty busy these past few days. We went to a sewing/craft class yesterday, and a ladies Bible study the day before, the beach the day before that, and we went to a special children's ministry today. We do have a lot of down time, but I think the language barrier and the change in schedule is just so different, that my brain is exhausted. Plus it's super hot and hilly here...which makes getting around a little tiring too. But I'm not complaining..sure, it's challenging right now...but that's what internship is all about! :) Plus, since when do I get to see things like this:
See? All worth it. It's amazing how much of a language you can pick up by just being in the culture. I've learned words that I never would have come across in a spanish class...like eyelash, thread, needle...even nerd! Haha. The little ladies at the Bible study and craft class were very gracious and patient with us, as we needed a little extra pronunciation and clarity of speech. And kids are just great for that too. They love that we talk more or less like them! Haha. Anyway...I'm still pretty tired, so I'm going to rest more tonight before the hecticness of Sunday begins...but here's another picture for good measure...this is in Ferrol, the larger town we're beside.
