My day with the english teachers.

Today I was planning on taking it easy and learning some more Spanish, letting my burnt forehead and nose heal, hydrate myself and generally get ready for the rest of my co-teachers to arrive from the states tomorrow. I didn't do any of that.
As I was answering emails and eating breakfast this morning I heard someone say "I'm an English teacher too!" As I looked up I saw two ladies who were sitting at the table across from me. I started talking to them briefly and then went bad to my emails. When I was done I went over and spoke with them a little bit more. It turns out that one was from Uruguay and and the other one was from Brazil. This means that one spoke Spanish (Cecilia), the other spoke Portuguese (Rita), they used their common language of English to communicate. That was a perfect opportunity for me. (On a side note, it's very interesting to be at the hostel and find groups of people speaking in their own national language, but if the groups are of mixed languages, they are almost 99% of the time using English.)
I ended up spending the rest of the day roaming around an Cerro with these two teachers, talking politics, education, travel, Spanish, Portuguese and English. It was a great opportunity to spend the day and I was able to have many of my questions about Spanish and how to teach English to Spanish speakers.
The day was really long, I'm very tired, but I've got a number of pictures to post and I'll try to write more later.
-Edit--- We had lunch right outside the zoo, I had a ham sandwich, water and an ice cream bar called a Praline. That bar made me forget all about the Super SexyBo and have faith in the icecream of Santiago and all of Chile. I'm sorry I ever doubted. Also, Mr. Super SexyBo, it's over between us.
