Thursday, September 13, 2007 Off We Go…
I woke up at the butt crack of dawn to head over to San Lawrence Colegio to help Senorita Mabel manage a room full of ridiculous high school kids. The first class was fine and I helped them to their homework that they were supposed to have done but no one did. Then the second two classes watch the old British movie Excalibur about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It was the really bad old version but luckily she put on the Spanish subtitles. Otherwise, I would barely have been able to understand it! When the second class started and I realized I was about to watch it over again, I asked her if she didn’t mind if I left since I wasn’t going to be doing anything to help. So I went home, feeling somewhat useless and hoping that doesn’t happen again. I’m sure it won’t, so we’ll see.
When I got home I ate almuerzo then did a little homework/research for our trip to Puerto Montt and the south. I packed up, and then ate again before I left at the insistence of Olga. She was terrified I was going to be hungry on the bus, so she also gave me a little sack dinner with baked turkey and veggies. I met up with Calli and Sam in the bus station around 6:00 and at 6:30 we headed out. The bus was full of people going south for Fiestas Patrias just like us. As I’m sure you can guess, the bus ride wasn’t too exciting, so I won’t ride much about it. I did manage to do a tiny bit of homework before giving up and going to sleep.

I actually wouldn't have guessed that the bus ride was boring. Some of our most interesting adventures were n the bus. I guess we did have Gladiator playing with the portuguese commentary as audio. And half our crowd was downing Bailey's and wine. Ok, so maybe bus rides are boring
