Joe, so far, Aug 21, 2009


Aside from almost being eaten by that tucan, (see first blog), Joe is doing great. It took him about 1 day to totally set up his office and get to work. He is the part of the family that keeps everyone grounded, as usual. He has taken on this adventure and run with it.

Joe is an amazing linguist, for those who don't know, he has studied Latin, a little bit of French,Thai, Mandarin and German, and is fluent in Russian. So he comes to this adventure with some advantages. He goes for it, and doesn't care if he makes mistakes, and enjoys every minute of it. For the first week, I didn't hear him use a verb, but he still got his point across and I admire him so much. His Spanish has taken off in the second and third weeks here, and it is amazing to watch! Today we went to a spinning class (bikes) at this cool club that we joined.
Rapido, mas rapido, arriba, mas rapido, respira, etc. All in Spanish. And we both loved it.
