Same old, same old

My days are becoming quite routine. Every morning I either prepare for the workshops I am teaching next week or I practise my Creole and in the afternoon I do the same. Sounds boring but I'm really enjoying it. My Creole is slowly improving. I can string sentences together and people can understand what I am saying but my grammar is horrible. But understanding what they say is a whole other story. The guys talk so fast it all sounds like one word to me. If they slow down and only say words I know, I understand them. They love that they can talk about me when I'm sitting right there and I can't understand them. I told them that will change very soon. They told me that they'll switch to French or Spanish:)
This week I went to watch the guys play soccer. It was quite interesting. They played in the middle of a road so they had to keep stopping to allow cars to drive through. Also, they played right beside a large dump so everytime the ball went flying into the dump someone had to climb all over the garbage to get it back. Overall a very interesting time. I created a small scene by coming and quite a few people were standing on the "field" staring at me until the ref yelled at them to get off the field.
Today I'm going to visit a hotel not too far from here to see if my parents can stay there when they come. I was told to bring my bathing suit. Maybe I'll go swimming today!!! That would be nice.
The last two days it's rained at night and it cools off soooooo much. I now LOVE the rain. I even put a blanket on last night, a first for me.
