Yesterday was definitely an up and down time for our local wifi service. They have split up our hotel grounds into two service areas — I'm sure to improve the situation, but that doesn't appear to be the current result. Anyway, you've all been in the same situation one time or another so I'm assuming your tolerant attitude will prevail. I have no choice.

I'm going to try to post the pics that didn't make it during yesterday's I T failure before it all goes off again. — Well, it worked. These are the other scenes from our glorious cooking class. It was such a happy and creative group of people there to learn and have fun. Can't beat that combination. At about 7:00 we finally sat down to eat. Of course it was beyond delicious. We had cooked it! Why wouldn't it be? We were a happy, somewhat tipsy, well fed group as we exited down the steep steps to the two waiting vans. The trip home was full of good conversations. And you all know what a hopeless eavesdropper I am. Had a hard time keeping up with it all.

Back to "Now time." The whole school is having a written placement test tomorrow because there will be a big shuffle before the next period starts next Monday. I'd like to progress just a little without doing too well and placing myself in a more stressful level. We'll just have to see. Wish me that just right, moderate (as always) outcome. Buena noche mis amigos.
