Today was an easy day for work. The ladies watch a movie every Thursday, and those who aren't watching are either in line for baths or in physical therapy. I help move everyone to their places, then find a couple of women who are embroidering. I brought my stitching today, so I join them. We chat a little, and when the movie is over, I help move the women to their rooms and bring them cafe & pan.
National Palace
For our Spanish Lesson today, we try the National Palace again. This time it is open to the public. The whole palace is green, and the guide explains it's the natural color of the stone, no paint. Green was somebody's wife's favorite color, and you know wives ALWAYS get what they want. ;) The tour is short, but the palace is pretty. There are 350 offices in the palace, and they all ring different, open courtyards. We eye some gory murals of the Spaniards conquering the Mayans, but there are also beautiful stained glass windows depicting peace between the two. I guess you can make everyone happy, in a way. There is an art exhibit with some pretty pieces and a man playing Love Theme from The Godfather on the piano. Nice place, not much of a Spanish Lesson.
"Surprise"
We get back to the home base earlier than usual for our Surprise. The base decided to throw a birthday party for the summer birthday people. We have a piñata, tostadas & some butter cream cake. Mmmm. I eat two slices. It's been an uneventful, easy-going day. Just what the doctor ordered.
