Town Square Dancers






We walked into town last evening with the neighbors currently living above us, Kathy and Scott. After dinner on our way through the town square we stopped to view Mexican folk dancing being performed on the stage. There is entertainment in the town square several nights a week. Sometimes it is good and other times not so good. Last night it was pretty good. Kathy and Scott are from Victoria and we have really enjoyed getting to know them over the past few weeks. At the end of March, just the two of them are going to begin a several month sail to the South Pacific on their 38 foot sailboat. They came with us to Arroyo Academy on Saturday and jumped right in to help. We had four new students who were brought in by their moms. One mom stayed for the lessons with her child and helped us out when she could. We have a good routine going now. Dennis, one of our neighbors, was a gym teacher and coach and he had the kids up and moving around while they worked on counting and the names for parts of the body. The space we have to work in is very small. It consists of two blankets on the dirt floor in an outdoor family kitchen. There is a small table and chairs, no running water and no appliances. It is hard, but the kids don't seem to mind at all. I just hope new kids do not keep showing up because we there is no more room in the inn.
