I can't believe that two weeks have passed, time flies! I am having the time of my life, this has been a wonderful experience - Thank you Ileana and company!
This morning we had a lecture/discussion about Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz,
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sor_Juana_In%C3%A9s_de_la_Cruz a wonderful XVII century Mexican "poeitsa." We saw a wonderful movie about her life, "Yo, la peor de todas" and then we went to visit the convent where she lived.
One of her most well known poem is "Hombres necios que acusais..." here is a link for the English and Spanish. If you have never read please do, is absolutely beautiful!
