No need to prepare

I know it's going to rain. I know this. It's the rainy season.
But this just doesn't suit my sensibilities:

Otra Vez...

The garden entryway where I'm staying

I'm in Mexico again. I may have mentioned that at some point. But this time feels very different. I'm staying with some friends at a beautiful home and commuting to the Universidad de Tierra for my lessons in autonomy with these folks. It doesn't really feel as though I am here.

The classes are very much on campesino time, so we are up early and late. But I never feel bad because they're up earlier and later.

We're in "lecture" for three hours and then we have a pozol break for an hour, and then we have three hours of reading and study time with our own personal Votan (read: person strongly affiliated with the social movement). We then have a two hour break for lunch and then back to class for question and answer for two more hours.  I had some fabulous plan for working on my dissertation since I was going to be staying in the city. Hah!

It is an amazing gift of time and knowledge. I hope I can get it all. Sometimes after a full day of Spanish my brain just shuts down.
