Cuernavaca: Day 2

This might be short and sweet as I am mentally exhausted. 

As I was texting a friend yesterday she reminded me I have good old culture shock - something I haven't had for awhile. 

Another good day. With excellent food and kind people and so much Spanish. I am struggling with the Spanish vowels and they are winning! Along with different verb tenses.

I went to a school that works only with students with Down's Syndrome. According to what I understood, this is the first school of its kind in all of Mexico. The woman who started it is a powerhouse - a force of nature. It was interesting and the students ranged from itty bitties to adults older than I am. I might return before I leave to watch some of their classes and interact with the students more.

My Mexican mama, Carmen, took me to her daughter's house for lunch and a swim. GLORIOUS as it was over 90 degrees here with strong sun. 

Lots of water and and a popsicle before I relax for the night, but first homework. I haven't done traditional homework for over a decade and I am not sure how I feel about being in the student role again...
