Auto body shops and graduation!

On Friday during class Dave visited two auto body shops. He's what he thought:
ok short and sweet i went to my teacher's brothers' body shops. it was very interesting to see them work and the conditions that they work in. There is no part that is damaged too badly that they will not try to fix. they cant purchase new parts so there is only option. I did know the technique that they were using but i only use it on small parts not the whole fender. the first shop was the nice one but it was directly under the house so all the fumes went straight into the house. The second shop was not a building it was a square wall with no roof and he did all his work outside. when it rained he didnt work anymore. It was absolutely crazy. Well im done so talk to you later.


Friday was also our graduation from ICA! We were both ready to be done with homework and studying. At ICA it's a tradition that the teacher introduces the student, gives the diploma, and then the student has to give a speech in Spanish. Dave and I both HATE public speaking, so we weren't looking forward to it at all. But it went well and it's over and done with now. (Dave's teacher helped him write his speech, in case you're wondering.)
Here's a random photo of a coat that Dave bought. It's hand made from sheep's wool.

And here's your volcano photo for the day, along with a nice view of a street in Xela.
P.S. There's another new post below this one!
