Ray and I went for a three and a half hour walk today. He looking for a rock climbing place and I for a yoga studio. We found both, but they were closed. We keep forgetting that most everything closes down from 2-4pm. (We also found out that there are four AeroMexico offices located around the Zócalo, all with different functions, but more about that some other time.)
At the yoga place, there were two young women looking at the yoga schedule, looking appropriately yoga-like. So in clumsy Spanish I asked them about the studio. They told me what they knew in Spanish--not a whole lot. We kept looking around trying to find someone to talk to and ran into them again. They asked me where I was from.
US.
Where in US?
North Carolina.
So are we. What town? (Now in English)
Chapel Hill
So are we.
I said, UNC?
Yes
So is he (pointing to Ray)
It turns out they are getting MSWs in social work at UNC. They are in Oaxaca doing one of the intensive Spanish courses for a month. They have been in Oaxaca since last Friday and we have been here since last Wednesday.
