I didn't go to the big feria (fair) for independence day, yesterday, because after standing around watching the parade of the school bands for *4* hours, I was pooped. So, instead, I took the afternoon off, read, relaxed, and investigated my sheets, which is when, of course, the great flea discovery was made. I didn't sleep well last night as a result of finding that, but I seem to be pretty much okay today, if a tad tired.
I'm working my way through Cuentos de Eva Luna, a book some of you may know in English. I understand a surprising amount, even when I don't stop every two sentences to look up a word. That's promising.
