all parts must be present in a Mexican fiesta.
we had MACC night last night
Misa-a prayer of some sort. We started the evening with mass for our misa. There are several priests here right now learning spanish so one of them led the mass in spanish. in fact, the whole mass was in spanish except for the homily. i was very proud of them (they all had some part in it) because it's not easy to get up in front of a group and speak in a different language. =)
Mesa-food. Spanish speaking dinner is always hard, but i am getting better with the inevitable discomfort. I have my dictionary and i make it through. Lot's of meat...mike was a fan! =)
Musa-some sort-of art expression. This could be poetry, singing, etc. Last night there was a mariachi band! I love it! I think my favorite song was la mariachi loco. we were all rockin' the seat dance. and to add lots of icing and cherries to the cake IT RAINED! i am not kidding. when it started they opened the blinds and everyone stared with relieved smiles on their faces. it was beautiful. it even came down pretty hard for a little bit.
then as we were relaxing with beers in our lounge linda found out her friend who received a kidney transplant didn't have any complications and was doing well! we were so excited!
what a wonderful day!
watched the second half of futbol americano (soccer)
misa. mesa. musa.
RAIN
successful transplant
more bonding
