It's after midnight and I've FINALLY been able to get online, so it's going to be quick, but I do have some pics today. We did our volunteer in the morning and today's activity was "yoga".  Okay, not quite the yoga I'm accustom to. Then we went into Cordoba to visit a couple museums. There is such a difference to attention to detail that you don't appreciate until it's not adhered to. Small things like dusting the moulding. I know, a silly thing.  This weekend we plan to attend the night market in Cordoba, which we hear is an experience. We may also hike about 12 miles to some waterfall somewhere nearby.  Notice in the pictures of senior center the mate cups. It is SUCH a big deal here.  I bought colored pencils and paper to bring and one of the ladies insisted on taking my picture, so I'll upload it. I took a few pics at the center today as well and will share.

Oh, that reminds me, I downloaded a spanish-English dictionary that will SO come in handy!!  I bought the most beautiful scarf while in Cordoba and the lady said (I thought) seventy something pesos, but I thought I recognized the something part but it didn't go with seveny. Oh well, so I hand her 100 pesos and trusted she will give me the right change. She stares at me. Uh-oh. Hmmmmm..... now what exactly DID she say? Well the word for 100 sounds similar to 70, so she said ciento y veinte pesos - and some guy in the corner yells in English "one twenty!" Ah! Got it!

The pics will start with our walk to the volunteer center today. Buenos noches!

PS; this was from yesterday & I couldn't upload pics before going to sleep.
