This week I learned

....how much Jorge likes headlamps, Kirsten's Peru phone (likes to pick it up and say "Si si si! No contestó") and my KU sunglasses. And the camera. And he even asked for me one afternoon I wasn't home: "Dónde está la muchacha con la cámera?"

... 100-pages-worth about psicolinguistica antropológica, in Spanish. OK, let's not lie, I read about 1/3 of it and called it a day (after struggling through a section on eye movements while reading that ended with "this has no relevance to psycholinguistics")

... where to get Mexican fast food in Cedros.

... the joys of planking?

... about travelling around San José at night

... how to dance hip-hop and parkour at their respective workshops at the culture festival in downtown San José

... how much I wish my future dance classes will teach me how to do this.

... how to make cookies with no measuring cups, white sugar, etc. OK, time for more honesty, I got there after Liz and Maggie made the cookies. They just told me about them. They were delicious.

...how much I love puppies!!!! I love puppies so much!!!!! This is Ella at Maggie's house !!!!! I love her!!!!!!

... where to buy flowers for La Día de la Madre, or Mother's Day here.

Back to school tomorrow — about to start another busy week. Kansas has been on my mind lots this week (people moving back to Lawrence, friends heading back to other schools, RA training, trying to bake here, talking to a lot of you on Skype, etc.) and so I would like you all to know that I am wishing you lots of good things at the start of the school year! Lots of love from the CR.
