Yay for holidays and extended weekends, that’s the main theme of this past weekend. We were supposed to have Friday off for a holiday but found out last Wednesday that instead we had this Monday off and not Friday. I was super bummed at first, but it all worked out just fine. Tyler and I cooked up some more of the famous Sue Anne Sticky Buns to take around for people at school. Our first stop was once again Norma’s house. It was so great! We spent about an hour and a half there hanging out and glancing at TV as Cecia (5th grade daughter) was watching Princess Diaries 2. We picked up some oranges, cheese, and cream (for baleadas). The even better part, she invited us over for dinner on Saturday night! I’m so excited about that! People around here do everything I’m pretty sure. I complain about lack of free time but Norma is married with two kids, sub-director of the school, teaches several classes (not sure how many exactly) and takes 5 classes at the university on the weekends. Holy freaking moly she is busy. From Norma’s our next stop was Mirian’s house, which we had not visited up to this point. She invited us over to her house yesterday and when we said we can stop by around 11 or 12 she said that she would cook up a little lunch, “Do you like pasta?” She asked. Well by cooking up a little lunch she really meant that she was going to make the worlds most amazing pasta with awesome potatoes, incredible sauce, a little salad on the side, with a coke and lime. It was great to get to hang out at her place, speak some Spanish, hear more about her life and family. From there it was on to Suly’s place for one more house visit. We had yet to visit her house and it was great to find it and meet her mom who she lives with! Suly is super nice and it was a fun time to hang out and relax at her place. We were going to head to Nora’s place for one last stop but decided against it as time was running short. We told her that we would visit, so we have rolls to take her tomorrow and then we’ll stop by her place another day.
Who are all these people you may be asking…well Norma I’ve talked about before I believe, so I’ll skip her and fill you in about Mirian and Suly.
Mirian: she has worked at Mayatan as an assistant for somewhere between 10 and 15 years, I get mixed stories. Her daughter graduated back in ’97 and she has one younger daughter in fourth grade there. Her husband was killed in an accident quite a while ago, 10 plus years, and she hasn’t remarried since then. She lives in a modest house about 10 minutes from our place, if you walk fast.:) She also has two other jobs, at Comercial Copan (a fabric, appliance, clothing, etc store) and a tobacco store in a little café for tourists.
Suly: she is the kindergarten assistant in the morning at Mayatan. She is friends with Megan and Viki, which is how I first met her, but now she’s my friend too!:) She’s been at Mayatan for a while now and is super friendly! Her birthday is May 7…in case you’re wondering…She owns three little parakeet type birds, one that just arrived from a person in Ostuman yesterday. Hence that one has received the name from me, Senor Ostuman.
Once again this past weekend has been filled with generosity and hospitality. Yay for that.:)
