Day 49 - Friday

Time to get serious about getting ready to go. Went to Company's Garden for a working breakfast. My Fall calendar is filling up too quickly! We went to Mexicano for a snack and worked on hemp jewelry. They have a big sign out front that says, "Parking for Mexicans Only". The first time we were there, a couple parked out front, then checked to make sure it was ok. Clearly did not get the novelty of the sign. This time, we ran across our first group of Americans in town. 3 girls who sat in the booth next to ours. They were loud and obnoxious as ever. I see where Americans get the reputation. For the first time since we've been here, I couldn't avoid hearing the entire conversation. One of them claims she cannot donate blood now because she slept with an African. Another like so could like not like finish a like sentence without like saying "like" like 5 times. Jeez ... Finally, we finished up our souvenir shopping and bought a new suitcase to bring back all the stuff we accumulated. After going to the Backpacker's to say goodbye to the students, came home and started packing. I couldn't sleep, as I never can before a trip, and read half of the book I was saving for the plane.
