last time,I missed the tour opportunity because my an financial exam.
I said in the last entry, after a disappointing few days in Montevideo we were only too happy to make our way back to Buenos Aires so we could continuejin on around Argentina.
Had a pretty normal last couple of days if that's at all possible. A lot of class! Its actually getting in the way of a lot of things they have asked us to do with our host familys. The only time I have to socialize with people other than peace corps is at night when you cant go outside alone and a few hours on weekends. I was looking through the schedule and it looks like I don't have any chance to go to the market or probobly ride on a bus or taxi. Which are probobly two of the most important things I need to know so I don't get ripped off buying food and getting transportation. It was nice to talk to my family and know that they are just as upset as I am if not more. I am getting better at understanding the patois...a little, but I am not very good at speaking. I said some words to brooks on the phone and she said I sounded australian. A guy here whos host dad and him just sit around playing cards and listening to his one cd of bob marley on repeat is picking it up pretty well. I think that might be b/c the only thing he hears at home is patwa. Yesterday we went to the ministry of health and port royal. Port Royal is where all the pirates including black beard and captain morgan are from. During an earthquake back when there were still pirates half of the city fell into the city. The jamaicans were talking about some guy who was swallowed up by the earth and then spit out unharmed. We also saw morgans resturant or something where Dr. No was filmed. After that we meet with some people at the ministry of health.
at last,we enjoy ourselves as the exciting boating tour.
