Well its hot. Really hot. Remember when you went to the beach as a kid and your mom always tried to get you to come inside between noon and 2 because it was the hottest time of day and the sun is strong (aka she didn't want to hear you whine about your sunburn for a week)? Well here that oppressive heat starts at 9 and ends at 6. And if she told you now you'd listen! And the worst is yet to come! I here it gets unbearable in February...we will see what that is like. If you get to the clinic early and stay downstairs in a room with a breeze and don't move all morning it is bearable. Its almost like we are living in a desert or something...
Oh and I covered an English conversation class today. Its was my first time to teach a class and the topic was leisure time (of course we talked about travel, climbing and farming/soil erosion in Haiti. Hehe. Conversations inevitably digress into the favorite subjects of the profesora!). The idea of teaching a class of 5 adults whom I didn't know seemed a bit daunting but the topic was an easy one. We managed to stretch out the exercises for the hour and they seemed to enjoy having a new English speaker to talk to. Its quite amazing how interested they are in everything you do or say. At last the perfect audience!
