When life is a b...big whale :)

A little brown cork
In the path of a whale
Who lashed it about
With his angry tail
But in spite of the blows
The cork quickly arose
And floated serenely
Before the whale’s nose
Said the cork to the whale
You may sputter and frown
But you can never keep me down
For I’m made of the stuff
That is buoyant enough
To float instead of drown :)

English Corner

It's coming together :)









...and to all you scoffers out there (you know who you are), my frog puppet IS a smashing sensation



Someone made these great contributions to the English corner, complete with pronunciation key and all… “Ok niños…MAI BADI: I like to esmel…I have good jiring and very good sait. This apple teist very nice, later I shall wash my feis.”…(ahem) anyway, it was quickly remedied with some handy-dandy white-out : )

A Paisa Delight...

A Mango/Lemon lollypop filled with salt...I was an unfortunate, unsuspecting victim...





Consider yourself warned

Naming the Baby

Since I haven't posted in FOREVER and way too much has happened...I decided to start with something totally non-essential, and work from there :)

I was just going over my attendance records from my class in Casita de Corazones and was (once again) deeply impressed by the uniqueness of their names. These are the top eight I thought were worth sharing:

Yanid Yansuri Yulesi Montoya Cadavid
(¿?)

Yurleidy Quinchia Quintero Gomez
(Your Lady)

Yusnavi Andrea Catañeda Restrepo
(US Navy)

Olnavi Gomez Colorado
(Old Navy)

Wachiman Tuberquia Gutierrez Velez
(Watch man?)

Wachinton Jairo Gutierrez Velez
(Washington?)

One Dollar Danilo Idagarra Toro
(yes, one dollar…read it in Spanish and that’s what we are obligated to call him…I feel like a criminal every time)

but this is by far the sadest one...

Jai Wei Giraldo Rodríguez
(highway)

Love you all! And I'll be back with a more informative post as soon as I can :)
