Hola! It is week # 2 now and I am really getting into the Spanish! The last few days have been busy with family life and getting ready for Dia de los Muertos/Day of the Dead.

On the weekend, Abigail's grandchildren were here and showed my how to play Lotteria. It is like Bingo but it is with images that are on cards (everything from " a tree","death", "a barrel", "a drunkard/drunk perosn"!!, "a negro/black peron, "a mermaid", etc...) The children practiced the vocabulary with me at home and then that night we went off to the Plaza/central square in town and played with the locals. The bingo dabber in Canada has been scaled down here, they use dried corn! It was a lot of fun!
This place is alive in the evening with singers, dancing performances, shops open, and everyone walking on the Malecon seawall. It is a great place to be!

That's great Brenda!! Awesome pics!!
It sounds fabulous Brenda! What an experience. I can imagine your Whitehorse family are getting anxious as to when they join you too!
hahahaha...figures that Bingo would be one of those thing that brings folks together no matter where you are. But the real question is, did you win??
