Monday, April 8 and gave my first early morning yoga class to a room full of wonderful Mexican women. I used a dvd to help demonstrate the asanas as my Spanish is pretty non existent! They seemed to enjoy themselves. The Mexican yoga teacher wants me to come back and teach her afternoon class ....
I have hired a Mexican woman/ teacher for 1 1/2 hour Spanish classes three times a week. My first class was yesterday and she is very good.
I will attend the weekly Monday afternoon 'Global Justice' or 'democracy-at-work' small group discussion talking about the economic crises around the world. Thoughts, words and questions to the group are intriguing, like "Irrational Exhuberance" and "What is the underlying structure of the economy?" ...
I am also looking forward to teaching ESL twice a week to a group of 30 young girls at an orphanage in town. First class tomorrow.
Last Friday a group of us went on a fabulous tour of a pyramid:
I miss the company of Rosemary and Matthew who returned to Canada last Sunday. Despite this I am slowly but surely settling down to a very pleasant lifestyle in this unique town in the centre of Mexico. I have met and spent colourful and tasteful, sometimes educational or/and stimulating times with interesting gringos, or folks either living or staying here for part or some the year.
The cobble stones on the streets definitely slows you down and you are forced to be present. The tiles and flagstones present amazing colours and forms. A stonemason's fantasy world! I just love walking through town, along the small streets and alleyways. Every door and access to a building or a courtyard is different and one is more amazing than the other! I wonder how long it takes to be bored here; from speaking to several folks one never gets tired or jaded.
I am going to post on my website more frequently. This space can be my 'morning pages' of my current life experience, so, stay tuned!
Saludos!
