La vida es como una caja de chocolates: Just a couple quick thoughts

I am currently killing some time in an internet cafe waiting for my guitar lessons to download; thats right I bought my first real six string and I am learning to rock with the help of a 12 year old boy from my town and downloaded video lessons. The only problem is I think I might be tone deaf. Anyway, I wanted to share a couple funny/interesting occurences.

I have been receiving many requests for English lessons from the people of my community, so I decided to start a secondary project and start having some classes. Yesterday I had a sign up day, and I was expecting around 20 people, maybe 30 at the most. By the time the day was over I had well over 100 people signed up, and the requests are still pouring in today. Everyone from 10 year old school children to 54 year old farmers. Now I have 5 different classes, 4 days a week, and mind you I have no english teaching experience. So I guess I am just going to have to wing it. I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew with this one, but it will most definitely be an interesting adventure with plenty of comic relief.

Also, I want to comment on how funny the ropa americana down here can be. There are stores everywhere that are basically salvation army's selling old American clothing, and the people love it. However, they very rarely know what their shirts say. Here are a few examples of what I mean:

I have seen a grandma wearing a t-shirt that said "Are you free tonight or will it cost me?"

I have seen a little boy wearing a t-shirt that said "Bootylicious"

And my favorite, I huge, mean looking Guatemalan man, with a pistol tucked into his jeans, wearing a salmon colored hat that read " I LOVE JESUS"

This is a never-ending source of humor as you can imagine. My goal is to get a few pictures with some of these unknowing souls in their inappropriate casual wear.
