We took the red metro bus again this morning and then got confused on the transfer (Google maps was very unclear) so we ended up walking the rest of the way. Now we were running a bit late and my cafe was farther away than Michelle and Leslie-Anne\u2019s. I speed walked it, arriving quite sweaty as I was wearing multiple layers because I knew I would be out all day until the nighttime. Since I was so hot (even though it was chilly out and chilly in the cafe) I ordered what I thought was iced Chai Latte but I actually ordered an Chai Frappe which is basically a Chai Latte slushy – which was delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Class went smoothly today – we were covering a grammar point I actually had a handle on and got perfect on my exercises! Yay! In the second half of the class we went to a small park next to a school – it was quite nice. We covered some interesting cultural information while talking about the origins of some words and phrases. At one point a man with two dogs walked by and one of the dogs was drawn to one of my classmates. When he heard that my classmate was from California, he went into a 10 minute anti-Trump rant in Spanish. Good comprehension exercise. All in all a good penultimate class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After class Michelle and Leslie-Anne and my classmate Allan went out for lunch at a great Argentinian restaurant in the neighbourhood called Escadon Corazon. It was beautiful inside ( well it was still kind of outside) and the food was great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch, Michelle headed back to our apartment as she had a course to do online. Leslie-Anne and Allan and I shared a Uber to go to Coyoacan. I enjoyed it so much the other day, I was happy to go back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leslie-Anne and I had fun wandering and then we met up with Michelle at La Casa Azul also know as the Frida Kahlo museum at 7:15. That deserves its own post!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
