HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESME ¡¡¡

Have a great day and great weekend ¡¡¡¡¡¡

I hope you have a nice weather and all of you can go to the beach ¡¡¡¡ If the weather is not nice at least  you can walk along the beach and after that you can have some beers .... ohhh ¡¡¡¡
I would like stay there ... have a good time and drink a toast to me ¡¡¡¡



Yesterday , was a great day. In the morning I was speaking English with Mac, from 10 AM to 12:30 AM ....
And when I was bored at my house, Betsy phoned me (to my new american cell phone) and we worked in her garden, after that we went  to a ZUMBA class in the Gym. It was AMAZING and very very fun... the music was great and 30 people dancing all of them following the beat (siguiendo el ritmo), but I was not able to keep time to the music ... but was a great time ... an hour dancing, well in my case clumsily moving my feet. Most of the music was salsa. The trainer is Diana (and she is from Colombia), she is a very good trainer and she chosen music like: salsa, flamenco, tango ...  and create a awesome choreography

After that I had a very nice dinner in Betsy's house, with Joe (her husband), Diana, Daniela and a Betsy's friend. All of them are charming. I taught Betsy how to cook Tortilla de Patata. But here you have to cook too much, because they are afraid about the eggs, and the omelete went dry for my taste.
But the dinner was very very nice.

Betsy's lessons:

She doesn't let anything get past me
She doesn' let anything get by me ..... No me pasa una
Grub / grubby .... sucio / mugriento
Hut ....choza
mulch.... manto de cortezas sobre la tierra de las plantas

WHERE WE WERE YESTERDAY? ¿Dónde estabamos ayer?

I'm sorry for no writing my blog in the last days ....Sunday, Monday, Tuesday .... I decided write it today, just because I've never known how to spell Wednesday .... Oh, great¡¡ I did it¡¡¡¡ Now I know how to spell Wensday.. Oh, nooooooo¡¡¡¡¡¡

Well, let me remember:

SUNDAY: A nice hiking along the bech and the boardwalk. Ocean City is a nice city .. but it began to rain and I don't know how my new camera-phone got a little wet and now it's dead... so there isn't pictures.. so sorry. I'm dissapointed because this. Well, anyway I was 13 hours speaking English... good¡¡¡¡

MONDAY: I went to College. The teacher did again the same thing. He taught about half classtime.... I got so dissapointed .. that I decided to dropp this course too .... and when I went out of my classroom I saw another room where a techer was teaching, oh what surprise¡¡¡ So I waited to the class ended and I asked a student what was the subject and the techer`s name..... Macroeconomic by Kevin Blaird.

So I went to the Student Advisor to exchange my courses ...but I needed take and pass and Math exam ¡¡¡¡ I could believe what she was telling me.. I shown her how dissapointed I was so she told me: "Ok, Talk to the teacher if he accepted you.....it's ok".

TUESDAY: College and later Diana picked me up and we went to Betsy´s house to help her in her beutiful garden. We were gardening and talking. Nice time. From 730 PM to 1000 PM, Trivial in Blue Dogs. I answered 3 question (over 50) and one of them I was the only that guessed it. I figured out who was in a cover-eyed police picture (vaya inventada que me he dado aquí). He was MADOFF, Madoff, who is Madoff? Oh, sorry Medoff.

WEDNESDAY: College and later Carolyn lent me a prepaid cellphone ...great. And we went to COSTCO.. Amazing, Awesom ¡¡¡¡ It's like Makro bat in american size .... I think they sell the whole cow if you order a filet mignon (= solomillo. Esto lo traduzco porque es muy útil cuando se viaja. Si veis filet-mignon en una carta no os corteís pedidlo, pero pedid: RARE (rer) filet-mignon, no RED, como alguno hemos hecho en el pasado .. ).

The pictures of the day:
Fotos de la Uni, mi clase, el profe Kevin Blaird (el de pantalón corto.. se sabe que es el profe porque no lleva chanclas ... como los alumnos, los compis de clase, y la super pantalla que usan para todo: videos, internet, PC, apuntes....

P.D.: En buena me he metido, como está la economia en España y me apunto a Macroeconomía. En la primera clase, a final me animó a participar, en la segunda me hizo una pregunta en público:
- Who regulates the inssurance in Spain, Alberto?
- Well, let me explain to you and to my colleagues, in Spain bla,bla...
Cuando llegue a la lección EL DEFICIT DE UN PAIS, me veo en patalón corto y en la pizarra mano a mano, explicando las diferencias entre USA y España ...jajajaja. Mandadme apuntes, fast¡¡¡¡¡
