Our security system Mark unlocking the gate. It is kept locked at all times
Dancing Kiwis
We were the oldest at the party - never been that before but we didn´t disgrace ourselves too much and they liked our dancing. The party started at 4 pm but the espanic people didn´t arrive till 6 pm which apparently is usual here.
On Monday we headed into town to sort out a spanish school which we started yesterday. Our brains are like mush - and we have another 3 hours today, tomorrow and Friday. It´s so much to take in. Mark is at home at the moment doing his homework. The lessons cost us $6.00 per hour each so they had better work. I find though that if the person I am speaking with talks slow then I can usually have a decent enough conversation with them. Talking on the phone though is hopeless even if you ask them to slow down.
We went to the bookstudy on Monday night - there was standing room only. (I got a chair though - must be the grey hair) Afterwards they came out with supper for us all which was hot chocolate (the reall melted chocolate stuff) and a bread bun. They are so hospitable here.
There are many interesting sights to see here - check out the writing on the windscreen of this car we saw yesterday:
Adios Amigos - it´s time for me to get to school.

You look like you are having fun. I couldnt read what was on the car so you will have to tell us. And I noticed toi toi in your front yard
Hi I concure with Catherine(thats Jane Austen speak) can't read the windscreen. But notice that can click and open other pics you have loaded except the last ones each time doesn't - ie couldnt open the cooking pig one or the windscreen truck.
But lovely to see some of the things you see - the security system is a hoot (thats Karen Campbell speak)!{hi Karen}
Bring some toi toi in to decorate your lounge - I remember Lynne doing that years ago - but mum says it makes too much mess!
Ps - I will have to get the technican to sort me out with regards to the pictoures when she comes to town ! Ok with you Marisa???
