University - Seniors

Hello friends!

Today started with a breakfast of scrambled eggs, cheese, mango juice, toast and coffee. I don't know why everything tastes so good here, maybe because I don't have to cook it myself. At home I usually have a bowl of cereal and that's it. Guess I will be changing that habit.

So my day began early, and I went to work with Patricia today at the University. She teaches pyschology and runs a program for senior citizens. Needless to say I fit right in to that program. They teach, reading, today they were learning a play. They have dance, exercise, crafts and art (painting or drawing). It was so much fun watching these ladies, and a couple of men as well. They had a birthday party for one of the ladies with refreshments, music and dancing. Imagine my surprise when one of the male teachers pulled me out to dance. I do have pictures but will show them to you later. The dance lasted so long I was really winded at the end but was so much fun. They were all so nice to me.

We went back to Patricia's office and the man I danced with was there and I found out he is has a radio program and wanted to interview me. Wow, I was kind of thrown off guard. But did the interview and it went very well.

We left school and went over to one of the Partner's houses for lunch and ended up staying there for 3 hours. The husband and son came home for lunch so we talked with them too. The son is in his early 20's and working and attending college. He wants to be in the film industry, behind the scenes, making movies. He is going to New York to visit relatives for 2 months and reaqlly wants to attend school there in the future. Very nice young man.

Came back to home and I am working on notes, blog and tyring to figure out the picture issue.

We are going to have a light supper, cheese sandwich, mango, rice pudding and a spice cake. Oh and lemon grass tea.

I found that the mosquito's that we encountered yesterday at the coco plantation, had a feast on my arm. Have about 8 bites and they itch like crazy but luckily I brought some itch medicine. I guess they just like that good "old" American blood.
I loved talking with my "home group" last night, it was great. Don has the Skype program on his computer as I do which enables us to see each other and talk for free. If anyone wants to know about it just go to the Skype website and get the details for downloading, it is very easy and free.

Hope you all have a great evening and I will get back to you tomorrow with more of my activities.
