A Dinner Invitation

At the end of our first week at Spanish school, we were invited to Kris's house. He lives in the U.S. and has a house in Tulum.  He was at the school for one week. The students and teachers were invited for supper.  We all chipped in and prepared our meal together. We made guacamole, home made tortilla chips, baked chicken breast with peanut sause, rice, salad, and assorted beverages.

A fun evening together.

Art Class Activity

We did not know what art activity we would be doing.  We were given a list of  items we needed to find and bring back to the school.  We each were given list of  items to find, two small containers of acrilic colors, a couple of paint brushes, and an old neswpaper.  When we returned at 4:30, we were told that we would be making paper mache charactors similar to the famous mexican artist Pedro Linares Lopez.  Barbie, the director, made the paper mache and we began by molding the newspaper and covering it with the paste.

When we had molded our amimal, we let them dry a little and then began the painting.

Our characters are drying after they were painted.
