So food has been a very big factor that affects my mood.  This is my Spanish class and my Spanish teacher and the delicious chocolate cake that made my day…

…and this is the pizza I first made.  I ended up making pizza three times, so far, and each time it has helped mitigate my homesickness.  It tastes like Peace!

Carnaval!  We made these streamers to decorate the Casa Comunal in bright colors.  This is one of my favorite pictures.

This is a photo of the day-time portion, with culecos that spray water from gas-tank trucks into the crowd.  Note the big speakers in the bag, that played lots of music all day long.

This photo is of the stage that I helped decorate J

This is what the queens of Carnaval looked like, more or less.   The queen is on the left, her princess is on the right.  This is the purple queen, who won the entire evening, but there was also a red, a pink and a light blue.

Massive grasshopper!  It was so pretty, and about 10 inches long!
