Back to school

Well, we finally started up classes again. Classes were supposed to start last week but no students showed up and the governor of Michoacan had said we should have another week of vacations. Culturlingua still made us go in for 3 hours a day, "just in case the students came in for homework". We did that Monday-Wednesday last week and then had a long weekend again because surprise surprise... nobody came in. We started officially again on Monday- a lot of schools have not started yet and we are still missing a lot of students. The government is trying to play down the flu now and the media has been hush hush here so I am not even certain if there are any confirmed cases in the area. People aren't really wearing the masks anymore and I think the hype has died down.
I am actually excited classes have started up again, it was very very boring around here with nothing to do day after day for an entire month! We have about a month left of classes; time sure flies!
The rainy season has begun, it has been raining almost every day here in the afternoons or at night. It's been nice since it cools off the afternoon heat. We have also been getting some excellent thunderstorms and lightning shows. They say it will rain until about September with July being the worst. So far no complaints from me, the most it has rained is for about 2 hours in the afternoon.
Anyway, nothing else for now- still healthy!
