Today is Tuesday; no work today because the teacher I work with, Laura was sick, and it is very difficult, if not impossible to find a substitute teacher that knows sign language. I relaxed today and we later celebrated the birthday of Erin(one of my roommates.) It was enjoyable; Italian food, little vino, cake and laughs.
The weekend was enjoyable. Friday night there was a work party with carne a la parilla which basically is marinated grilled meat...it was awesome. It was excellent to hang out with and get to know the people with whom I work outside of the workplace. Sunday after an delicious meal with the Friars at lunchtime; Liz and I decided to venture to a free concert up in the mountains. The name of the group was "Malpais" a well-known Costa Rican group. It was a worth-while experience. They reminded me a little of Dave Mathews band in that they have a violinist, pianist, flautist mixed with a bit of rock. All in all, the past few days have been enjoyable; but I look forward to seeing my friends and family in ten days!
I came across this quote today which I reflected on a bit and I think is interesting.
"Where your deep gladness meets with the deep hunger of the world, there you will find a further calling."
