Saturday I continued to work on some homework and Brittany and I cleaned the house. Around 1 o’clock Mireille came to the house and picked up Dawn, Brittany and I. We made our way to the school to check out the Christmas bazaar. It was packed! There were a whole bunch of food stands and all of my year 6 students were trying to get me to buy their food. I ended up having a green chicken curry dish. It was really good, but very spicy! Student choirs were singing Christmas songs, Santa Claus was there, and in the gymnasium there were stands everywhere with crafts, jewelry and food. I didn’t end up buying anything because I was warned ahead of time that everything was overpriced. However, just like the Halloween party, the Christmas bazaar was a huge event, and the school once again had a very good turnout of students, teachers and parents. Way to go SIS.
After the bazzar we packed up our things at the house to get ready for the week in Estapona. In “Pona” we went to the Mercadona – a supermarket – and stocked up on food. I also needed new shampoo and other items etc. We were all surprised at how expensive Herbal Essences is here…=]
At night we were invited to Lee’s house (Dawn’s cooperating teacher) for dinner. He made spaghetti with Chicken and mushroom sauce. It was really nice not to have to cook or go out for dinner. After dinner we went out to the port. When returning to MN I think I will find a whole new respect for our smoking ban. At the end of the night every article of clothing reeks of smoke…gross.
Sunday was a day to relax, sleep, watch movies, and prepare for my week. I have been full time at SIS for a total of five days now, and I will be teaching full time again this whole week. I also finished another standard, yes…one left.
