Side notes
I think it's really funny how I go into internet cafes and guys blantantly are looking a porn websites. Sometimes, they are sitting right next to the window and all the passersby can seem them looking at the porno sites. I was at my favorite cafe and this guy forgot to plug in the ear phones and you heard very loudly a women moaning. It was really funny!
I'm still taking salsa classes. I think I'm going to switch to another studio for private lessons because it's cheaper and it's with a man. I think I'd learn a lot from a man. I'm still going to go to the group classes every Mon through Fri at 6 p.m. Yesterday, my partner sucked, but the day before the old man and I were dancing all of the place. I hope I'm paired with someone better tonight. I had 5 private lessons and this will be my 3rd group lesson. I plan on going to them until Nolan gets here.
I was going to go rock climbing today, but the guy who does it wasn't going to have an instructional class this afternoon and I don't want to go with out him giving me tips. I got his ph# so I'm going to set up a time next week to met met. There's a simulated wall in a gym here that he has people practice on. I guess the people that are signed up are experts and don't need tips. I saw the pics of the place and it's freaking beautiful. I doubt I'll be able to climb the the top, but I want to go anyway. Besides it's cheap. I'm still planning on going on a two day hike soon. The one I wanted to go on is not offered during the rainy season which is now beause you walk through the rain forrest and it's too slippery and dangerous.
I bought Josefina a pressure cooker today. She's been without one for about 2 weeks now. She tried to get the one she had for over 25 years fixed, but was unsuccessful. It was too expensive for her to buy a new one. It's been tough too because she hasn't been able to make frijoles and she's been buying them from a store and doctoring them up, it's just not the same. I and her family missed them so much. I told my teacher I wanted to buy one for her and she offered to walk me around to shops nearby. My teacher and I walked around to different stores here so we could find the best deal. It was a nice field trip. She also asked for the prices so they wouldn't rip me off because she said they would increase the price of a gringo was going to by it. I was walkign home with a classmate and we past by a little store that sells wrapping paper. I bought two sheets and wrapped it up in the store. The lady helped me as it was an irregular shaped box as I had the guy in the kitchen supply store assemble the pressure cooker for me. It was sticking out of the box and I didn't want Josefina to see it when I walked in. I ran into my room put my stuff down and ran buy her as she was washing clothes in the pila. I then came back out and Jeremy of course was tagging behind me to see what I had. I told Josefina I have a present for her. She couldn't believe it and she gave me a big, warm hug and started crying. She opened it up and said she couldn't believe it. She said words can't express the emotions she's feeling and she loved it! She was over whelmed. She was going to read the instruction book so she knows how to use it. She said she can read, but not write spanish. She said she's keeping the box and going to put the date and my name on it to always remember the day I gave it to her. She put the box and pot on the kitchen table to display it and show her family today. She said she can't wait to make frijoles again! I can't either...they are the freaking best. I'm going to have her show me how to make them. I think I'll buy a pressure cooker too when I get home as I make beans all the time. However, I must admit she uses a lot of salt when she cooks as I don't use any. Jenny, you would love her cooking as you dump in a bunch of salt too.
I need to go to a market to get some cake mixes so I can make pastel tres leches with her soon. I would like to make this weekend, but the grocery store is across town and you have to take a few buses to get to it. I'd prefer to go with someone else.

Do people have the internet in their homes or onlt at the internet cafes? Are there mostly gringos in the internet cafes?
Wow you are really adventurous if you go rock climbing out in nature.
I would be way too chicken to try that.
I think it was so kind of you to get her that pressure cooker. I look forward to trying her beans. Are they like the black beans we get at la Teresita? Do they eat rice in Guate?
