Our School
The school is very simple with no classrooms. It seems that there's an arrangement with the owners of the B&B where the "school" is situated to use a table in the interior courtyard as a meeting place. It's an entrepreneurial almost virtual set up. There's a web site where you arrange class instruction and principally two instuctors who have university degrees in a discipline as well as training for teaching foreigners. The physical school is coffee shops around town. So we've had a lot of coffee.
This arrangement suits us both well because Bob has had enough of classes in the past and I've completed all the Spanish grammar instuction and need vocab enrichment and practice using everyday expressions. Bob doesn't like homework and mine so far has been commentaries on various articles and YouTube videos. All is going well.

Our Hotel is a Casa with Six Suites
The entrance to our room.
The bedroom.
The salon.
The bathrooms are a room with two sinks and another room with a tub, shower and toilet -- about 1000 square feet altogether -- certainly enough to swing a cat as they say.
Looking down to the lobby.
The roof top terrace.
Local plants.
A leather parrot.
An antique candelabra with real candles in our room.

At the moment we are planning a weekend adventure in the mountains at 10 000 feet. I'm a little skittish about it because we are at 5 000 feet now and I think it was the altitude that gave me grief during the first few days here. Altitude is stange though. One day it might affect you and another not. It's beautiful where we want to go. So I hope you'll see pics soon.
Mexican artists Carlos and Albert's playfyl art -- all about 2 feet by 1 foot and priced at around $2 000 each.
Be well and many saludos from here in lively Mexico.
