Day 2
Thursday, April 13 2006
Lunlunta, Argentina
8:47
First day I didn't wake up before the alarm. Well, I'm not sure, but I was definitely surprised when my alarm went off. Though it must be someone else's, set earlier. Very distracting sitting – lights were on where I sat (stage end), figured they get turned off. Many twitchy folks near me. Sniffles, restless legs, scratching their ass (OK, back and/or legs). On the housework team at 10;15. People up late last night – Igor until 1:30 he said.
12:00
A bit of a chilly breeze today (a bit chilly, more than a bit of breeze). MF a few times w/ AM, then T'ai Chi at 9:15, it was good. In the terrace, cold though. 10:15 – sweeping hallways for 30 minutes. MF a couple more times w/ Igor. Practiced Not My Sharona, lead. Then a trill exercise like the Trapiche trills (RH continues picking pattern while LH is playing the trill) but in 5 – ended up w/ a fiendish twist on the NMS lead.
When the sun comes out it's not so cold out here. There are more women on this course (proportionally) than any previous for me. Last year's may have been close.
21:13
Dinner was OK. Lentils w/ onion, potato. Carrot salad. Portions were a bit meager, but that was good because we almost ran out. One performance – The Oiled? Quintet. Long rambling piece became a sing-along. Apple crisp for dessert. Met w/ RF at 16:50.
Four? performances at lunch. Missed one at tea, working on dinner. At dinner, was 7 from Argentina/Ecuador (Luis Cagnolo, Victoria C, Ruth, Horacio, Claudio, Martin, Fabio) plus me and Barbara from Austria. Everyone speaks some English, but Espanol was definitely the language of the day. Worked fairly well anyway.
Easter celebrations in the church next door. Incense fills the halls.
