Learning, but hard

We had people over for dinner Tuesday and Wednesday, and all spoke Spanish and no English. Tuesday Drew and Ann were here and it was OK, I, John, just listened, tried to pick up some stuff, but just sat there most of the time. Wednesday we had our two neighbors, 21 and 18 years old over for dinner. It was just me and Jenny and it was HARD!!! Exhausting. Trying to understand each other, but just saying, "No Comprende" over and over again. They are wonderful, and it was great to have them over, but it is definitely still very hard to spend long peiods of time with our Spanish Speaking friends! Thursday we hung with an American teacher and her Bolivian husband for "tea." It was great- and her hubby worked for the government so she updated us big time on Bolivia political history and what is currently going on. But boy do we still have a lot to learn!
