Jammin on the beach
by Gary Warren
A short one tonight ‘cause it is late. Caila (DSW student) is here now from Cuernavaca where she has been on placement in a school for street children. For her, it’s a long weekend, and it gives me a chance to ‘supervise’ her placement more closely.
Other friends will arrive tomorrow from Chiapas, so we will have a bit of a reunion.
Today we spent quite a while trying to figure out how we can support ourselves through experiential education when we return to Canada.
Tonight the five of us went out to the annual Zihuatanejo Guitar Festival. Great jammin’ music right besides waves crashing on a beach. Cool evenings make up for the hot days, and it was good to hear some really fantastic music. It was good to balance all the stressful things we have experienced.
But talk about coincidences. There was a family from Belleville there! The mother teaches Flamenco dancing at Quinte Ballet, the father is a superb guitar player, and the daughter also teaches Latin dance, but in Toronto. They were great! We often take for granted things that are so close to us, and have to go thousands of miles away to realize it.
