1st day of school report

Well I am very pleased to report that Mac came home yesterday a bundle full of energy. He had a great first day at school!

After the bus left here, they picked up the little American kindergartener but then they picked up some American boys "who were about 10 years old" who got to sit on Mac's row on the van. Hurray. Mac doesn't know their names, but he thinks one is from Texas and one is from somewhere else. Both are with the embassy, per my van expert.

Mac said they didn't learn anything, except some Spanish, and the only bad thing that happened is that there were slivers of something - GASP! - in the rice at lunch. It sounds like child abuse to me, but he survived and he might actually grow to like whatever those slivers were!

So he's off for day 2 now. The bus was on time this morning, the new housekeeper starts today (hurray for me!), Jimmy's off for a day trip to some city pretty near here, and I'm free. What to do, what to do....
