It never rains but it pours...

Hey. Sorry that it's been a while but this week has been very intense. We've had to write an assignment and teach every day. Everyone's been pushed to a limit of some kind but today its nearly all done for now and we've had a few beers this evening.
This is a picture from our window. Every morning there is a parade for the festival along the main road at the bottom of the road we live on. There are so many firecrackers that the air is thick with smoke. It's amazing but kind of strange. The streets are red with the paper from the crackers afterwards and huge jet wash tanks come down and clean them.
This week we have purchased a toaster, 2 knives and the best thing 2 mugs. Now it is possible to have green tea and toast for breakfast and I am completely content!
As of monday I will be teaching beginner students instead of intermediate. I'm looking forward to the change as another learning curve!
Big love, Jo xxx
