Well, our time at the mountain school has come to a close... for now. We "graduated" today with lots of fanfare... Brian made 4 pizzas to share (which was really quite a feat considering what we had to go through to find yeast and mozzerella, not to mention the walk down the road to use a stove in one of the neighboring communities). We also made kites from sticks and plastic bags and Brian and I sung a rousing acapella rendition of "If I had a hammer" translated into Spanish by yours truly, which went over quite well, I must say. We said our goodbyes and promised to come back and jumped on the chicken bus for Xela, narrowly missing getting run over by some stray cows. We're staying here with our new and dear friend, Amy, with whom we just ate Indian food, which, while delicious, was not quite what we were expecting in all cases... Brian and I hop on a Minibus for San Cristobal de las Casas tomorrow, what will likely be an 8-9 hour journey across the border and up into Chiapas. We're super-stoked about hanging in Mexico, most especially about eating there, and we're just all-around happy to be venturing on, although it was great studying spanish and we'll miss the family atmosphere of the mountain school...
Love,
Cat and Brian
