November 20 - A Little Rearranging

Today was a pretty quiet day.  It was raining when I left for school, but by the time I got out the sun was shining and everything was pretty dry. 

There was a small group of protesters marching down the street (with police escort) in front of my school building during class, but I could only get a few words from the stream coming from the megaphone.  I don't feel too bad though, because the teacher couldn't understand the woman either - so I am going with bad megaphone instead of my bad Spanish.  We could only hear them for a couple of minutes as they marched down the block.

On my way out of school, I saw a much more lively "parade" of students who appeared to be coming from a field trip at the Cathedral (they each had a Cathedral gift bag).  There were probably 100 or so students - not sure where they were from, but they seemed happy.

I also passed this guy - it seems to me that everyone would have been better off (the person pushing the stroller and the kid) if the kid was in the seat and the backpack was in the underbasket instead of the other way around, but everyone seemed ok with the status quo - so, who am I to judge.

This afternoon, Albert and I moved his desk and set up his workspace in the nook next to the kitchen.  He has been working in the second bedroom, but for the next couple of months we will have various people staying in that room - starting this Friday.  So, we needed to make sure there was a place for him to work....


This evening, I went to Intercambio.  We talked about Thanksgiving (which is not so easy to explain) and Black Friday (which is even harder to explain).  On my way home, I saw this sign....clearly they don't get it - why would you be frying when you have all of those leftovers...

Sometimes the river is so calm, it looks like a mirror.  It is a nice view to come home to.
