School 36, or IBO (for Instituto Batlle Ordonez), is where you'll find me on Fridays.
This past week there was another special guest to entertain Beatriz' students--the IBO's own Julio Pereyra, naval officer, NASA scholar, and native of Rocha's rural lighthouses. He's inviting me and the other Fulbrighters I'm living with to come visit his home in September.
The kids were jealous. What they do for fun is pretend to be surveying people downtown about their opinions on love. On Friday afternoons they even come back to school during their free time to have English conversation with an American and an astronomy teacher.
