Granted, there are moments when Max is a little Focker.
But for the most part he has been a star.

As for school, we have told Max repeatedly we could care less about his grades this semester. The learning he is doing – navigating a new school in a foreign country in a different language – is not measured by grades. Nevertheless, Max has had tests in every subject this week and, somehow, he seems to be doing fine.
As a reward (for everything, not just the tests), last night we had Max’s favorite dinner.
Burritos! |
From what we can tell, the only way to get a burrito in Oaxaca is to make it yourself.
BTW, if it is starting to seem from the photos like Max and Helen wear the same thing every day, it is because they do. I am not talking about their school uniforms. We brought a suitcase full of clothes for each of them. We could have brought a few pairs of shorts and a couple soccer jerseys for Max, and a couple of skirts and t-shirts for Helen. Actually, we each could have gotten by with only a few outfits, although Natalie wishes she had more warm clothes for the mornings and for her Spanish classroom, which she claims is “freezing.” --Harrison
