Summer Spanish Study Starts

Okay, so the summer program's beginning. New people are coming in. It's strange to be the one who actually knows things. I'm staying in Casa Cemal right now instead of Verde. Next week we switch to homestays.
Today we did the CEMAL orientation and went to the Zocalo, where a guy selling henna claimed that my name (Benjamin) meant something about plants. It actually means "favored son," I think, but I didn't care enough to tell him that.
I may wind up following this new program on some of the trips I've already been on. Doesn't hurt to do that, might wind up writing more in detail this time, but...don't count on it. Maybe just more posts like this one.
